BADAGRY, LAGOS — In a major early boost for the 2027 electoral cycle, the influential Yegovodu Movement has officially endorsed Hon. Bonu Solomon, the member representing Badagry Constituency 1 in the Lagos State House of Assembly, for a second term in office.
The endorsement, which took place on Sunday, was characterized not just as a show of support but as a formal "declaration of intent" by the people, urging the lawmaker to recontest his seat to continue his developmental strides.
Led by Olufemi Sewanu Iroko, the group highlighted Hon. Bonu’s performance over the last two and a half years as the primary driver for their decision. Beyond the traditional legislative role of lawmaking, Iroko praised Bonu's prowess in the "art of lobbying," which has brought tangible benefits to his constituents.
"We have looked at your work... we feel you have delivered extensively," Iroko stated during the presentation. "Beyond making laws, you have shown to be someone who has a talent for lobbying. That is why your constituents and beyond are enjoying the dividends of democracy."
The group cited significant achievements during Bonu's first 30 months in office. The movement solidified its stance by donating campaign souvenirs to kickstart the 2027 awareness drive. Iroko emphasized that the call to return to the Lagos State House of Assembly was a collective plea from the people of Badagry.
Visible moved by the gesture, Hon. Bonu Solomon expressed his gratitude to the Yegovodu Movement for their proactive support. He reaffirmed his commitment to the progress of the constituency.
"I thank you for your support towards me and Badagry," Bonu said. "I promise not to disappoint you."
