An APC support group comprising youths of Ogun Waterside Local Government on Saturday, Oct. 24, 2026, embarked on a walk to sensitise, canvass and mobilise votes for all APC candidates in the 2027 elections across Ogun Waterside Local Government.
The walk, themed “Empowering the Youth, Mobilising the Grassroots: For a Stronger and United Ogun Waterside with APC,” took off from Iwopin Ward to Imakun-Irokun, with the grand finale held at the Ogun Waterside Local Government Secretariat, Abigi, where 100 people received N20,000 cash empowerment each.
The Convener, Comrade Olawale Balogun, while speaking at the programme, expressed the readiness of the youths of Ogun Waterside to deliver 12,000 votes for all APC candidates, including President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, Governor Dapo Abiodun as Ogun East Senator, Hon. Joseph Adegbesan for House of Representatives and Hon. Samsideen Lawal for Ogun Waterside State Constituency House of Assembly in the forthcoming elections.
He stressed that Ogun Waterside under the APC administration has been positioned for great economic transformation with the 7 billion dollars Deep Seaport project, oil exploration project, coastal road and over 1 billion naira electrification project, among others.
“With the way our local government is positioned under President Tinubu’s administration, we will soon become the most important local government in Nigeria. We must express our profound gratitude through our votes. This is not about party; it is about liberation, progress and the development of Ogun Waterside Local Government. We will go all out to ensure that we contribute quality votes to all APC candidates,” he said.
The Special Assistant to the Governor of Ogun State, Comr. Olamide Lawal, who also graced the occasion, commended the youths of Ogun Waterside for the laudable initiative. He encouraged them not to relent until victory is achieved and also pleaded with the leadership of the party not to abandon the youths after the elections.
