Thousands of Somolu All Progressive Congress (APC) women wing and supporters on Tuesday 7th, 2023 stormed the streets ahead of Saturday’s Governorship and House of Assembly election in support of Mr. Babajide Sanwo-Olu’s re-election for a second term in office and elect Hon. Biodun Orekoya to represent Somolu constituency I at the Lagos state House of Assembly.
The campaign train which started from Orekoya’s constituency office saw a mammoth crowd of women party faithful in full campaign gear, wielding different campaign souvenirs going from street to street to preach the gospel of Sanwo-Olu and Orekoya to the people.
Hon. Bisola who spoke to Somolu Correspondent said the move became necessary in support of the All Progressive Congress (APC) candidates; Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu/Hamzat and Hon. Biodun Orekoya in order for them to continue the good work they started noting that such responsibility will give them the opportunity for their voice to be heard when and where necessary.
Meanwhile, the Ward E Women leader who also doubled as the leader of Orekoya Babes, Hon. Mrs. Bisola Adenola poured encomium on the Executive Chairman of Somolu local government, Hon. AbdulHamed Salawu for his unflinching support all the All Progressive Congress (APC) candidates had been enjoying since the campaign started, describing the multiple award-winning chairman as a worthy and exemplary leader.
She, however, enjoined the women folks to come out en mass on Saturday, March 11 to vote for Babajide Sanwo-Olu and Orekoya stating that women play significant roles in the growth and development of the society and that such should be replicated in democratic governance.
