BADAGRY, LAGOS — The Executive Chairman of Olorunda Local Council Development Area (LCDA), Hon. Ajose Peter Kumayon (APK), has formally inaugurated the Olorunda All Progressives Congress (APC) PBAT-KOH Campaign Council, alongside unveiling plans for the groundbreaking of five major infrastructure and socio-economic projects across the council area.
The high-profile inauguration ceremony held on Wednesday, November 11, 2026, at the APC Party Secretariat in Mowo Extension along the Badagry–Lagos Expressway, drawing together party chieftains, elected representatives, traditional rulers, ward executives, and grassroots stakeholders.
Addressing party faithful at the gathering, Hon. Kumayon underscored that electoral victory in 2027 hinges on internal cohesion, discipline, and grassroots synergy. He urged party leaders and members to bury personal grievances and prioritize collective progress over individual ambitions.
"No political organisation can achieve meaningful success without unity, mutual respect and collective responsibility. I therefore appeal to our leaders, stakeholders and members to set aside personal differences, grievances and individual interests that could undermine our common objectives," Kumayon stated.
Charging the newly inaugurated campaign council with immediate action, the council boss directed members to deploy aggressive grassroots engagement strategies spanning house-to-house, street-to-street, and door-to-door outreach to rally eligible voters. He further emphasized the need for sustained voter education on Permanent Voter Card (PVC) collection and voter registration verification, while cautioning members against spreading misinformation, intimidation, or inflammatory rhetoric capable of breaching public peace.
"Effective mobilisation is not merely about numbers; it is about trust, accessibility and sustained engagement with the electorate," he added.
Spotlighted during the address were the party’s standard-bearers for the 2027 polls, including President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, Vice President Kashim Shettima, and Lagos State governorship hopeful Dr. Kadri Obafemi Hamzat, alongside candidates vying for legislative seats.
Hon. Kumayon anchored the party's campaign message on proven governance frameworks, linking his administration’s RESHAPE Agenda which prioritizes infrastructure, education, healthcare, social welfare, environmental management, and youth and women empowerment with President Tinubu’s Renewed Hope Agenda, Lagos State’s THEMES+ Agenda, and Dr. Hamzat’s proposed governorship vision, The Promise of Lagos (Ilérà Èkó).
In a major boost to grassroots infrastructure and service delivery, Hon. Kumayon announced that his administration will commence the groundbreaking of five transformative projects across Olorunda LCDA on Tuesday, November 17, 2026.
Highlighting healthcare upgrades, the chairman revealed that the dilapidated structure at the Morogbo Primary Healthcare Centre (PHC) has already been cleared to make way for a comprehensive reconstruction and expansion into a modern mini-hospital. Once completed, the facility will significantly expand medical access for residents across Wards E, D, and neighbouring communities in Ward B.
On youth empowerment and digital inclusion, Kumayon disclosed plans to construct a 1,000-capacity Information and Communications Technology (ICT) and Computer-Based Test (CBT) Centre paired with a multipurpose event centre beside the council's marriage registry. He explained that the two-in-one facility will end the hardship faced by local students who currently travel long distances to neighbouring towns to sit for computer-based exams such as the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) examinations.
Additionally, the council boss revealed that a massive 40-hectare abattoir project previously stalled by road measurement exercises is now set to take off to stimulate local commerce.
The five flagship projects scheduled for the November 17 groundbreaking include Secretariat Access Road: Construction of the road network leading directly to the Olorunda LCDA Secretariat.
Aradagun Town Hall: Groundbreaking and construction of the proposed Aradagun Town Hall.
Morogbo Mini-Hospital: Reconstruction and expansion of the Morogbo Primary Healthcare Centre into a fully equipped mini-hospital serving Wards B, D, and E.
40-Hectare Abattoir: Development of a sprawling modern abattoir covering over 40 hectares to boost agricultural and economic activities.
ICT/CBT & Event Complex: Construction of an over 1,000-capacity ICT and JAMB CBT centre alongside an event centre near the marriage registry.
