Ajara in Badagry has spoken loud and clear for Sesi Whingan
@sesiseun
❤️

The massive support reflects the growing grassroots movement, youth energy, and people’s belief in his leadership and vision for the future.

Despite the pressure, Ajara stood firmly with Sesi. The message is simple, the movement must continue beyond 2027. ❤️🇳🇬

You are happy 😊 with this turnout in Lagos? Agege alone boast of about 4 million eligible voters. What you have there is not up to 200k. Wait until campaign starts. If Peter Obi and Kwankwaso venture enter Agege, hold up will last 3 days.

The coast is even already cleared as there is nothing to discuss about the 2027 presidential election . We are only waiting for formality

I am proud of being a Nigerian because president Tinubu made the whole Africa proud with his summit in Rwanda.

Lagos has an estimated population of 20million.

So you are saying Agege alone has at least 50% of the state's total population going by your 4 million mark of eligible voters.

Where did you even pull your stats from?

Also, I see you did a head count on all individuals present at the primaries by merely watching the video and arrived at 200k present.

Let's even allow your stats to prevail, do you know what even 200k registered party members in just one LG translates to?

Let's see what your NDC primary turnout will look like

We are talking about eligible voters, you're talking about crowd that'll be playing football on election day. If Obi sees more than 400k votes in Lagos, I owe you 50k.

APC is not the ruling political party by accident, the leadership built a deep grassroot structure across all wards and actionable vision.

We all can see the rigorous contest among aspirants just to get a ticket to run. It should serve as template to other "factional" parties.

This is actually a true form of local democracy, even though things look a bit rough, the organisation will get better in the future.

In a funny way, conducting a primary may actually help to galvanise voters to turn out for a party during the actual election.

Compared to areas where consensus is adopted, voters who vote in direct primaries will feel a true sense of being part of the process.

See Mr Obasa. When was the last time anyone witness a 'big man' subjecting his political fate to the hands of ordinary people.

Politicians who go through this process will know ordinary citizens can terminate their political career if they perform poorly and come back to contect another primary in the future.

Good for democracy.

LoL
These children are online making noise.
Na APC primaries be this oh..
I hope you all have your answers as to why governors were moving APC.
THEY WANT TO BE IN THE WINNING PARTY.
Imagine telling the people in the villages where the coastal road and Sokoto-Badagry road will pass through to vote out the party that will give their villages visibility, open up their villages to commerce.
Una dey play.

That’s what happened in Kosofe. The crowd was massive and the current incumbent Kafilat Ogbara came last with 5000 votes. Mayor Dele Oshinowo scored over 15,000 votes cos he was an excellent LG chairman in the past.

Two other people scored higher than Kafilat. She came fourth, cos she sat in Abuja and didn’t really connect with the grassroots. I felt bad for her, but for like 30,000 people to come out and vote against u, it means she forgot her roots.

People like Akin Alabi in Ibadan go home every weekend for grassroots discussions and acting on what they request, that’s why they keep electing him back to Abuja.

Agege is an APC stronghold including the Hausas in Agege all support APC in Lagos. They always vote the government that the indigenes support, so they have zero issues and it helps to protect their interests.
