Leaders of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Oshodi-Isolo Local Government have inaugurated the Tinubu Lagos State Ambassadors (AATLSA) special executive council in preparation for the 2027 elections.
The Director-General of AATLSA, Chief Rasak Fasesan, unveiled the 80-member team during a meeting of The Mandate Movement (TMM), a political caucus within the APC in Lagos.
Speaking at the event, tagged Tinubu Agenda 2027, Fasesan, who also serves as the Babaloja General of Oshodi-Isolo LGA, emphasized that the initiative aimed to strengthen the party’s grassroots mobilization ahead of the upcoming council elections and President Bola Tinubu’s 2027 bid.
Fasesan, popularly known as Ajanaku Alakoso, stressed the importance of leaving no stone unturned in rallying both old and new party members.
He noted that the newly inaugurated special exco comprises representatives from all wards in the local government.
APC Apex Leader, Chief Dele Ogunshakin, also addressed the gathering, stating that the meeting was a strategic move to re-engage party members who had been inadvertently sidelined.
Ogunshakin said: “This is a forum for leaders to harness them, bring them together and give them a sense of belonging.
“It’s a way to mobilise the party for the coming election. Some people are looking at 2027 as if it is far away but once you sleep and wake up, 2027 is closer.
