The South West Agenda for Asiwaju (SWAGA) is set to inaugurate its Lagos State chapter on Friday, 13 November, 2026, as the political movement intensifies efforts to mobilise support for President Bola Tinubu’s re-election bid in 2027.
The inauguration will take place at the Blue Roof, Lagos Television, Agidingbi, Ikeja, according to the Chairman of the Lagos SWAGA Media Committee, Hon. Lanre Odubote, who announced the event at a press conference on Wednesday, 11 November, 2026.
Odubote said the inauguration was part of efforts to reposition the movement, strengthen its organisational structures and expand its grassroots presence across Lagos State.
He explained that SWAGA was established to mobilise support for Tinubu’s political vision and promote his administration’s Renewed Hope Agenda through advocacy, public enlightenment, political engagement and community-based initiatives.
According to him, the movement’s activities are anchored on four key areas: mobilisation, advocacy, unity and service.
He said SWAGA would work to communicate government policies and reforms to the public, address misinformation through factual engagement and promote political cohesion within the South West and the All Progressives Congress (APC).
Tracing the movement’s history, Odubote said SWAGA emerged as one of the early political platforms that mobilised support for Tinubu’s presidential ambition ahead of the 2023 general elections.
He identified former member of the House of Representatives, Hon. Oyetunde Ojo, as the movement’s convener, while Senator Dayo Adeyeye served as its national chairman and Hon. Bosun Oladele as national secretary.
Odubote said the movement mobilised support across communities, markets, traditional institutions and other groups in the South West during the build-up to the 2023 elections.
He added that its role had since expanded beyond electoral mobilisation to include policy advocacy and public engagement aimed at promoting understanding of government programmes.
On its renewed direction in Lagos, the media committee chairman said the chapter planned to establish stronger coordination structures from the state level down to local governments, wards and polling units.
He said the movement would also expand engagement with women, youths, traders, artisans, professionals, transport workers and persons with disabilities to encourage wider participation.
Odubote stressed that Lagos SWAGA would not operate as a rival structure to the APC, but would complement the party’s existing machinery and strengthen its mobilisation efforts.
The November 13 inauguration is expected to attract political leaders, government officials, APC stakeholders, traditional rulers, community representatives, women and youth groups, trade associations and other participants.
The programme will include the unveiling of the Lagos SWAGA leadership and organisational structure, presentation of its strategic action plan, goodwill messages and the inauguration of local government and ward coordinators.
Odubote called on members and supporters to participate in the event, while assuring the media of the movement’s commitment to open communication and timely information.
He said Lagos SWAGA would continue to pursue its objectives through political engagement, grassroots mobilisation and advocacy in support of Tinubu’s administration and its 2027 re-election campaign.
