It is truly disappointing that the Lagos APC is abusing state institutions by sealing off the venue where the ADC was scheduled to hold a meeting tomorrow after obtaining the necessary approvals. This is not only an abuse of power, it is a clear attempt to stifle opposition voices...

ADC Will Form the Next Government of Nigeria - Okonkwo The ADC is on fire. Our only challenge is that the APC is using every method to intimidate and disrupt the plans of the opposition. Recall that in Kaduna State, an ADC meeting was disrupted by thugs. Similarly, in Lagos State, Gbadebo Rhodes-Vivour's meeting was also interrupted by thugs, under the supervision of security agencies. The APC is jittery and is already imploding; we will defeat them in 2027. Kenneth Okonkwo Lawyer, Member of the Coalition ADC

I will be declaring for the ADC coalition tomorrow. No amount of police intimidation, sealed venues or harassment will stop this historic event. Lagos belongs to the people, and we will not be silenced. #OURLAGOS

From a patch of land that was no different to others but now, this piece of land cannot be overlooked - it is now a green orchard that cannot be missed in the heart of Lagos.

Infrastructure Equity: Lagos State is Unique Because It's a No Man's Land - Bwala N2.9 trillion has been spent on infrastructure in Lagos State, which distinguishes it from other states, primarily because Lagos is a "no man's land." The president, who hails from the Southwest, did not win Lagos, highlighting the cosmopolitan nature of the state. Were it not for the fact that the majority of the people in Lagos speak Yoruba, one might wonder if Lagos is truly in the Southwest. Like New York, Paris, and London, Lagos serves as the commercial nerve center of the economy and requires extensive infrastructure to enhance its economic growth. Daniel Bwala, Special Adviser for Policy Communication to President Tinubu

Yesterday, I addressed the Central working Committee of the Lagos4Lagos Movement who are drawn from all the Local Governments in Lagos State to personally re-affirm my readiness to joining the Lagos State Gubernatorial race in 2027 as against doing so by proxy. Our deliberations were not merely about ambition, but about articulating a shared vision for the future of Lagos—one anchored in inclusive governance, sustainable growth, and the empowerment of our people. We deliberated on strategies that transcend politics-as-usual, focusing instead on how to strengthen the very foundations of our democracy: accountability, transparency, and service delivery. I made it clear that, regardless of individual outcomes, our duty remains to Lagos and to the progress of our party, the All Progressives Congress (APC). Together, we will continue to put our hands to the plough, working tirelessly to ensure that the APC not only succeeds electorally but also delivers meaningfully for the people of Lagos. For me, this is about stewardship, about building a Lagos where opportunity, innovation, and prosperity are accessible to all. I told them, it’s time to begin intra-Political activities and galvanize support for the party in preparations for the 2027 general elections.

The Lagos State House of Assembly, under my leadership, has established a Legislative Liaison Office in Asokoro, Abuja, an important institutional bridge designed to strengthen engagement between Lagos State and key federal stakeholders. This Liaison Office represents more than a physical presence in the nation’s capital. It serves as a strategic hub for legislative coordination, policy alignment, intergovernmental relations, and effective advocacy on matters that impact the people of Lagos State. It ensures that the voice, interests, and developmental priorities of Lagos are consistently represented at the federal level. It is Lagos House. It is the House of Assembly’s extension. It is the People’s House. Above all, it stands as a House of Democracy, dedicated to deepening governance, fostering collaboration, and delivering greater value to our citizens. Mudashiru A.

Earlier today, i was on channels TV to discuss the floods, waste management and the issues Lagosians are dealing with. It is unfortunate that Newspapers like Newsweek and The Tribune exhibited desperate and lazy journalism by literally attributing things to me i did not say. I thank Channels, the Nation and the New telegraph for their Nuance . Let me be very clear, My Job in this cycle is to unite all Lagosians, (the disenchanted APC youth ,Obidients, PDP and Labour party faithful, everyone that loves Lagos and wants a lagos that works) against the problems holding Lagos back: “THE APC". We will bring together people across ALL party lines, ages and class to ensure we form a government that puts you the LAGOSIAN first because it is time for Our Lagos.

"If you do well by the people, you will have no fear of the peoples vote." - Oba of Benin. The APC has controlled the affairs of Lagos state for over 2 decades and this is how terrified they are, this is their own indictment of their failure, Violence and intimidation are the last refuge of incompetence. The ADC status report : *APC THUGS AND POLICE STOPPED ADC MUSHIN LGA MEETING* The venue that was booked and paid for two weeks before Thursday 9th of October, 2025 slatted for ADC Mushin LGA meeting was sealed by APC Thugs and Police. All was set for ADC Mushin LGA meeting on Thursday 9th October, 2025. 4:00pm. Only for us to notice the presence of Police vans stationed at the gate of the meeting venue. Calls was made through to the management of the facility to know what really happen, he explained that ADC Mushin can no longer use the venue due to naming ceremony that is coming up there. It was a surprise to ADC Chairman and his Excos when we got to the venue to discover that the APC thugs were the ones that occupied the venue doing nothing but dancing to music. "

The new normal of APC in Lagos is to vandalize the living standard of the masses. They demolish with impunity what they lack the capacity to build - rendering hundreds of thousands homeless whilst budgeting billions for themselves for houses in Lagos and Abuja. Lagos was the land of Justice and equity. Mobolaji Johnson birthed it, Alhaji Jakande nurtured it, but this is not the Lagos they envisioned. This is not the Lagos you deserve. -Gbadebo Rhodes-Vivour

The conversation is no longer about how hard Lagos works. It's now about who Lagos is working for. For too long, the system has worked only for a few. But Lagos should work for all of us. Not just the connected. Not just the lucky. Not just the powerful. ALL of us. I'm Funso Doherty. And I'm ready to work with you to create a Lagos that works for everyone. #OTiYa #ItIsTime #FunsoDoherty #LagosDecides

Igbo Man: "Lagos Was Sold to Us, We Developed It – Without Igbos, Lagos Is Nothing, Nothing Yoruba Can Do" A video has surfaced showing an Igbo man making a bold and provocative claim that the Yoruba did not develop Lagos and that the city was sold to Igbos, who then developed it. "Without Igbos in Lagos, Lagos is nothing," he declared, adding that there is nothing the Yoruba can do about it.

People from Oshodi-Isolo are determined and looking for every possible means to replace Okey Joe, the person representing Oshodi-Isolo in the House of Representatives. We’ve seen their publications claiming that Okey only empowers Ibo people in Oshodi-Isolo. To be honest, it might be difficult to unseat him because that area is dominated by those people. If it weren’t for Asiwaju’s role in establishing Lagos State, these Ibo people want extra exclusiveness in Lagos State affairs and always wanting to be in a position to dictate who becomes Governor of Lagos State. There is a formula to deal with this nuisance, and we are going to apply it whether they like it or not. *

I made it clear during the interview with TVC News Your View that Lagos has a lot of environmental challenges, we are a tiny state that houses 10% of the nation population. We are below sea level; when it rains, the tidal level goes up and the storm water cannot clear up easily. This is flash flooding and it eases off after an hour or two. It is not something to sensationalize, it is just the reality we face as a state bordered by the ocean. We are not where we want to be but we are not idle. We work round the clock to engage and make the situation better. #CleanerLagos

I’m confident that the people of Lagos state will no longer tolerate an administration that prioritizes luxury vehicles over the delivery of public services. Where people are constantly fleeing their homes due to poor drainage systems or where people have to drink water contaminated with “shit” because their government is incompetent. And while the people drown… the government dines. This administration cannot continue to dine while the people groan. But their picnic is over and the people are ready for a Lagos that works for everyone. #ourlagos

"ONLY ANARCHISTS WILL SAY LAGOS IS A NO MAN’S LAND" - OMOTOSO The Honourable Commissioner for Information and Strategy, Gbenga Omotoso has said that only anarchists say that Lagos is a no man’s land because there are no empirical facts to support such a bogus and vacuous claim, nor can it be validated through any available record. The battle to straighten the records is therefore between archivists who are trained in the art of record keeping and preservation, and anarchists who make sweeping and unsubstantiated claims. Omotoso made the observation recently at an event organised by the Lagos State Records and Archives Bureau (LASRAB) at its Magodo Office to commemorate World Archives Day, adding that there is a lot to be done to protect the state's heritage. He said the battle for the protection of our heritage has to be fought on two fronts; number one is technology, the other is ideology. The second challenge is what I call the question of people who claim that Lagos is a no-man’s land. There is no empirical fact to support this bogus and vacuous claim, nor can it be validated through any available record. So the battle in my own view is between archivists and those who lay claim to this notion of no man’s land, who are in my own view anarchists. The Honourable Commissioner opined that we must leverage technology to make our various archival materials accessible to the public and keep them in the consciousness of our people. “We are talking about Lagos here, all the beautiful buildings that we have, all the things that our Kabiesis and royal fathers are preserving for us, none is showing here. It is because we are not in control of the technology. I think we need to join the world in using technology to show what we are capable of doing, what our forefathers did, and the kind of future that we are confident that our children will have”. Commending LASRAB officials for a job well done while encouraging them to keep the flag flying, Omotoso promised that the State government will ensure that the bureau gets the required resources to fight all those anarchists in the technological front, such that the power of technology can be deployed to the story of Lagos and deepen it. Also present at the event were the Head of Service, Lagos State, Mr. Olabode Agoro; the Oniru of Iruland, Oba Abdulwasiu Omogbolahan Lawal; representative of the Oba of Lagos, the Opeluwa of Lagos, Chief Lateef Aderibigbe Ajose and Erelu Abiola Dosumu, Erelu Kuti of Lagos, amongst others.
