…Urges Nationwide Backing

Barely a month to the All Progressives Congress (APC) primaries, the Lagos State House of Assembly has thrown its weight behind President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s re-election bid, endorsing him for a second term in office and calling for broad national support.

New Telegraph reports that the endorsement followed a unanimous resolution reached during plenary on Tuesday after a motion was introduced by Hon. Ladi Ajomale, representing Oshodi/Isolo Constituency II.

While presenting the motion, Ajomale pointed to what he described as key achievements of the current administration over the past three years, stressing the need for continuity to sustain ongoing reforms.

He referenced policies such as the student loan scheme, the removal of fuel subsidy, and major infrastructure developments, including the Lagos Coastal Road.
