A well-attended stakeholders’ meeting of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Ward C, Onilekere, was held on Thursday, April 16, 2026, bringing together party leaders, grassroots mobilizers, and loyal members to deliberate on party unity and future prospects.


The meeting opened with a prayer led by Alhaja Mustapha, setting a reflective tone for the proceedings. The Ward Chairman formally introduced Hon. Prince Seyi Lawal, who attended alongside key political figures, including the Immediate Past Vice Chairman of Onigbongbo LCDA, Hon. Taofik Olorunfunmi, Chief Ajibola Lawal, and Comrade Ibrahim Abiodun Balogun, popularly known as “Ablent.”


In his address, Hon. Lawal commended the dedication of Ward C leaders and gave special recognition to Alhaji Dally Adekunle Adeokun for his longstanding contributions to the party’s development.


The lawmaker used the occasion to formally declare his intention to seek re-election to represent Ikeja Constituency I for a second term. He appealed for the continued support of stakeholders, describing Onilekere as his “second home” despite his primary political base in Ward E, Oregun.

Reflecting on his political journey, Lawal highlighted his grassroots beginnings as Ward C Publicity Secretary under the former Ikeja Local Government, his tenure as Councillor and Leader of the House in Onigbongbo LCDA, and his current role as a state legislator. He reiterated his commitment to effective governance and delivering greater dividends of democracy to his constituents.


In goodwill messages, several party leaders and stakeholders endorsed his candidacy. Comrade Onamisan, Immediate Past Chairman of Ward C, described Lawal as accessible and responsive, noting his consistent engagement with constituents. Other speakers, including Mr. Akinshola, Mr. Dotun Omotuyi, and Mr. Atobatele, also praised his performance and urged members to support his re-election bid.


Speaking on behalf of the non-indigene community, Mr. Livinus commended Lawal’s inclusive leadership style and invited him to attend one of their meetings to further strengthen engagement across diverse groups.


The meeting concluded with a vote of thanks delivered by Alhaji Monsuru Bonojo, who expressed appreciation to attendees for their commitment to the unity and progress of the APC in Ward C, Onilekere.
