Eko Hot Blog reports that the endorsement, powered by the Epe Local Government APC Youth Leadership under Saheed Balogun, reflects what many observers describe as a growing wave of confidence in the leadership style and performance of the two lawmakers.
At a gathering of youth stakeholders, party loyalists, and community representatives, the group emphasized that their decision was not arbitrary but based on the visible developmental strides and consistent engagement demonstrated by both leaders over the years.
Speaking on the endorsement, Saheed Balogun noted that the youths of Epe have closely followed the contributions of Hon. Tobun and Rep. Wale Raji, particularly in areas of infrastructure development, empowerment initiatives, and youth inclusion.
“Our support is a reflection of what we have seen and experienced. These leaders have shown capacity, commitment, and accessibility to the people. They have earned the trust of the youths and the wider community,” he stated.
The youths highlighted several interventions attributed to the lawmakers, including road projects, empowerment programmes, educational support, and constituency-driven initiatives aimed at improving the standard of living across Epe communities.
They further stressed that continuity in leadership is essential to sustain ongoing projects and build on the progress already achieved.
“We believe that continuity will allow these projects to be completed and expanded. Starting afresh may slow down the pace of development we are currently witnessing,” a youth representative added.
The endorsement also underscores the strategic role of young people in shaping political outcomes at the grassroots level. With a large percentage of the voting population, the APC youths in Epe reaffirmed their readiness to mobilize support and strengthen party structures ahead of future elections.
Political observers note that the move signals early consolidation within the ruling party, as stakeholders begin to align and position themselves ahead of the next electoral cycle. The endorsement is expected to further boost the political standing of both candidates within the constituency.
The event concluded with a renewed call for unity among party members, as well as a commitment by the youths to continue engaging in constructive political participation that will drive sustainable development in Epe.
