A support group, the Agbelebu Solidarity Forum, has inaugurated canvassers across wards in Agege Constituency I in Lagos to mobilise voters for President Bola Tinubu ahead of the 2027 general elections.

The group would also canvass votes for Gbenga Abiola, aka Agbelebu, the All Progressives Congress’ candidate for Agege Constituency I in the Lagos State House of Assembly.

Speaking at the inauguration, the director-general of ASF, Jamiu Ademosu, described the ‘Street Captains’ as the backbone of the forum’s grassroots political structure.

According to him, the step is aimed at strengthening voter engagement across the constituency’s communities.

He said the group would galvanise support for Tinubu’s re-election and Dr Obafemi Hamzat, the Lagos State APC Governorship Candidate.

Mr Ademosu said, “The success of any political movement lies in the strength of its grassroots structure. As street captains, you are the first point of contact with the people.

“You must remain accessible, committed and proactive in engaging residents, communicating the achievements of our leaders, and mobilising support for the party’s vision and candidates.”

He said the canvassers would serve as a critical link between the people and the APC leadership.

According to Mr Ademosu, the inauguration is part of efforts to build an effective grassroots political structure capable of reaching voters at all levels.

He said the structure would engage voters at ward, street, household and individual levels across Agege Constituency I.

The mobilisation efforts, he said, would promote the achievements of APC-led governments at the federal, state and local government levels.

He added, “The success of any political movement lies in the strength of its grassroots structure. As street captains, you are the first point of contact with the people. You must remain accessible, committed, and proactive in engaging residents, communicating the achievements of our leaders, and mobilising support for the party’s vision and candidates.”

Mr Ademosu urged them to uphold the values of loyalty, discipline, dedication and service. He said the forum also supported economic growth and inclusive governance in line with the Renewed Hope Agenda.

Mr Ademosu expressed confidence that the team would contribute significantly to APC’s electoral success.
