She emphasized that the incoming administration plans to entrench grassroots-oriented governance, ensuring every zone in Lagos benefits from balanced infrastructure distribution and effective public service delivery.
Furthermore, she outlined plans to decentralize state administrative services and establish periodic town hall sessions, allowing citizens to directly channel their feedback and influence governance priorities.
Addressing the newly inducted polling unit reps, she urged them to maintain high-voltage mobilization across local wards, stressing that internal party cohesion remains vital as election preparations escalate.
Echoing these sentiments, Tayo Ayinde tasked the field coordinators with maintaining continuous dialogue with community residents to build trust and strengthen grassroots support.
Ayinde, who joined Princess James-Sonayon in officially opening the new secretariat and unveiling the campaign fleet, reiterated RHA’s focus on delivering total electoral success for all APC candidates across Lagos State.

Layode voiced high confidence in the deployed structure, highlighting that the operational hub and dedicated mobility assets will dramatically expand RHA’s capacity to execute targeted political outreach throughout the Badagry Federation.
