Her optimism was informed by the recent mega campaign rally of the APC in Epe on Wednesday, February 1, 2023, at the Epe recreation centre.

The rally, which was organised by members of the state cabinet, candidates of Epe, Ibeju, Lekki, Eredo, Ikosi-Ejinrin, and the council chairmen in collaboration with the party leadership in the state, attracted thousands of enthusiastic supporters and spectators.

The event also witnessed the presence of Lagos State Governor, Mr. Babajide Olusola Sanwo-Olu, his Deputy, Dr. Kadri Obafemi Hamzat, and other candidates, who took to the stage amidst cheers and applause, delivering speeches that touched on key campaign issues.

The governor and other candidates also took the time to meet and greet supporters, taking photos with some of them.

Reacting to the development, Oladunjoye described the rally as a “resounding success.”

She credited Sanwo-Olu, other candidates, and members of the state cabinet for their unflinching support and also alluded the success of the rally to the painstaking efforts of both local and state party stakeholders who massively mobilised both human and material resources.

The APC chieftain noted that the enthusiastic support demonstrated the high level of support for the party’s presidential candidate, Bola Tinubu.

“The mega campaign rally was a resounding success, and it is evident that the governor has the support and momentum they need to make a strong bid for the election,” she said.

“The successful hosting of this rally marks a significant milestone for our dear party and its supporters, who are eagerly looking forward to the upcoming election season. Mr. Governor and his team expressed gratitude for the outpouring of support and vowed to continue working hard to deliver on their promises to the people.

“I want to take this opportunity to extend my appreciation to the Governor and members of the executive cabinet who were in attendance.

“The presence of these high-ranking officials demonstrated the significance of the event and the support for our National Leader and Presidential candidate, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu.”

Oladunjoye, a former Lagos State Commissioner for Education, praised the governor and the cabinet for their leadership and their dedication to the betterment of the state.

She acknowledged the challenges faced by the state and expressed confidence in their ability to work together to address them.

The APC vice chairman in Lagos East also stated that the successful hosting of the rally has provided a boost of energy and momentum for the campaign, and supporters are already looking forward to the election.

“In the coming days, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu will continue to travel around the states, meeting with supporters and sharing their vision for a better future. The campaign so far is off to a strong start and supporters are optimistic about the APC’s chances in the upcoming election,” she said.

In addition to the rally, the APC chieftain was elated that the day was marked by another significant event—the commissioning of the upgraded Epe-Eleko road network in the Epe division.

The network of roads, which has been under construction for several months, she said, will greatly improve connectivity and accessibility for residents and businesses in the area.

The commissioning of the Eleko to Epe T-Junction road, built over 40 years ago, and the flag-off of the 2nd phase from Eleko junction to Abraham Adesanya roundabout, were met with excitement from residents and local business owners, who have been eagerly awaiting the completion of the project.

The road was officially opened by Sanwo-Olu, who was joined by some party and community stakeholders and members of the executive cabinet.

During the ceremony, Oladunjoye praised the governor and his team for their efforts in securing funding and support for the project, which will have a positive impact on the local economy and the quality of life for residents.

“The commissioning of the 18.75-kilometer road was a momentous occasion for the residents and businesses alike are already feeling the positive effects of the improved connectivity and accessibility. The successful completion of this project serves as another example of the Governor’s commitment to delivering results for the people and improving their community,” she said.

“By and large, it was a day filled with excitement and positive developments for the division and the state. Residents and supporters are looking forward to more progress and positive changes in the future.”

With this development, Oladunjoye made a heartfelt appeal to the APC supporters, asking them to repay the government’s efforts by turning out in large numbers at the polls.

She stressed the importance of participating in the democratic process and using their votes to shape the future of their communities, local and state government, and the nation at large.

“The successful commissioning of the 1st phase and flag-off of the 2nd phase of the network of roads has generated a great deal of excitement and optimism among supporters and residents. The Governor and his team are now focused on continuing their efforts to bring positive changes to the local development areas and the state, and supporters are eager to see what the future holds.
