Deputy Director-General of the PBAT-KOH Campaign Council in Lagos State, Hon. Rasaq Ajala, has charged women leaders of the All Progressives Congress (APC) ethnic nationalities to strengthen grassroots mobilisation, promote unity and translate their leadership influence into tangible political support ahead of the 2027 general elections.
Ajala gave the charge during a strategic engagement with Women Leaders of APC Ethnic Nationalities in Lagos State, held on Friday, 6 November, 2026, at the APC Campaign Secretariat, Ikeja GRA.
The meeting, organised by Engr. Sam Ebube, Head of the sub-Committee on Ethnic Nationalities under the Contact and Mobilisation Directorate, brought together 300 women leaders, comprising local government area coordinators, senatorial district leaders and members of the state executive.
The engagement was attended by the First Lady of Lagos State, Dr. Claudiana Ibijoke Sanwo-Olu; and Chief (Mrs.) Oluremi Hamzat, wife of the Lagos State APC governorship candidate, Dr. Kadri Obafemi Hamzat.
Addressing the participants, Ajala emphasised the importance of unity, grassroots engagement and collective responsibility in achieving the party’s electoral objectives.
He urged the women leaders to take ownership of the mobilisation process and deploy their influence across their respective communities to strengthen the party’s support base.
“The strategic position of women leaders within our various ethnic communities places them at the heart of effective grassroots mobilisation. Their influence must translate into stronger community engagement, increased voter participation and tangible political support ahead of the 2027 general elections,” Ajala said.
He further stressed that sustained mobilisation, community outreach and effective voter engagement would be critical to consolidating the party’s presence across Lagos State.
Ajala reaffirmed the commitment of the Contact and Mobilisation Directorate to developing a formidable, inclusive and well-coordinated mobilisation structure.
“Our objective is to build a strong and inclusive mobilisation network that brings every community into the process. Through purposeful engagement, unity of purpose and collective commitment, we can achieve our shared political objectives,” he added.
The engagement forms part of the PBAT-KOH Campaign Council’s efforts to strengthen grassroots structures, foster unity among ethnic-nationality groups and consolidate political support across Lagos State ahead of the 2027 general elections.
