Team Prado Lights Up Lagos With Massive Sanwo-Olu 2nd term Endorsment Show

The re-election bid of Governor Babajide Olusola Sanwo-Olu aka BOS of Lagos received a major boost ahead of the forthcoming general elections as one of the prominent support groups, Team Prado(TP) showed its strength with a massive road show a few days ago comprising of hundreds of dispatch riders mobilizing and endorsing the governor’s push for a return to the Aluasa seat of power.

The colorful road show, a brainchild of Team Prado, a private initiative made up of Nigeria’s finest and best brains from all walks of life promoting and campaigning for the re-election of Governor and the actualization of Asiwaju Bola Tinubu presidency has continued to be a blessing to the campaign efforts of the two leading candidates. Apart from investing a lot of resources and time in publicity and through the use of SMART technological ideas, the support group has also employed the grassroots campaign strategy – taking the Sanwo-Olu for a greater Lagos gospel to the doorsteps of every Lagosian.

For Team Prado, the Sanwo Again project is a task that must be delivered considering the impressive first term performance of the governor and his deputy, Obafemi Hamzat. Like they say, one good term deserves another. And Team Prado has a huge platform to showcase the achievements of the incumbent in the four years or so. Team Prado has organized several initiatives and programmers to elevate the governor’s profile as well as promoting the track record of Asiwaju Bola Tinubu the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) presidential candidate.

The latest initiative by Team Prado which featured hundreds of dispatch riders who stormed strategic streets in Lagos to endorse the candidacy of Governor Sanwo-Olu is the icing on the cake. And that’s not all, in spite of the increase in the support base of the governor as the elections draws nearer, Team Prado is not resting on its oars. They have plans to unveil other exciting events before the general elections in February, 2023.

*I will perform like Sen.Adeola Yayi if I’m elected as Senator in Ogun West

Hon. Aina Akinpelu made it known to Ogun West People that he will perform like Senator Olamilekan Adeola Yayi, if the people of Ogun West give him opportunity to serve them as a senator representing Ogun West in 2027 election. Hence tagging his Campaign Slogan as Like *Yayi Like Legacy, Like Yayi Like Legacy*!

Aina said ” we need someone that can work for us like Senator Adeola, if we want his good work to continue in Ogun West”.

That is one of the reasons why I’m contesting for the senatorial seat for our incubent senators good work to continue.

“What I did then as a State Legislator when I served my People at Ado Odo/Ọta 1 Constituency is the example of what I will do if I give opportunity to represent Ogun West at the Federal Level

Honorable Aina says,
Just like Distinguished Senator Adeola Yayi, I facilitated numerous “legacy projects” across my Constituency. I also personally funded people-oriented projects aimed at improving the daily lives of my people.

These visible achievements, delivered during my time as Member Ogun State House of Assembly from 2011–2019, are still standing strong across Ota State Constituency 1 till today.

As a grassroots politician who understands how to attract development and influence decisions in favour of his people, I’m fully prepared to take that same quality representation to Ogun West Senatorial District.

As progressive APC members in Ogun West, the time has come to rally behind a candidate who can sustain the standard and performance Distinguished Senator Adeola Yayi has brought to our district. Which is me, says – *Hon. Aina Akinpelu.*

Stakeholders of the All-Progressives Congress (APC) in Zamfara State have thrown their full weight behind President Bola Ahmed Tinubu and Governor Dauda Lawal for a second term in the 2027 general elections.

The endorsement came on Saturday, April 25, 2026, during a high-level stakeholders’ meeting convened at the Government House in Gusau. The gathering drew all four former governors of the state, elected officials, elders, and representatives of youth and women from all 14 local government areas.

Speaking at the event, Governor Lawal described the meeting as timely, noting that political activities ahead of the 2027 elections are about to intensify.

He explained that his decision to join the APC was not merely political but a strategic move to reposition Zamfara, strengthen collaboration with the federal government, and advance the Renewed Hope Agenda. He thanked stakeholders for their unwavering support throughout the transition process.

Lawal urged party leaders to manage public expectations with maturity and fairness, acknowledging that not all political aspirations can be met immediately. He stressed that leadership goes beyond positions and that political relevance comes from service and contribution to development.

He further assured that fairness, equity, and justice would guide his administration’s decisions, and called for discipline and loyalty to the party.

In a communiqué read by the Minister of State for Defence, Bello Mohammed Bello Matawalle, himself a former governor, the stakeholders declared their full support for President Tinubu and Governor Lawal. The communiqué also covered discussions on party unity, governance coordination, security challenges, and preparations for the 2027 elections.

All four former governors of Zamfara Ahmed Sani Yarima, Mahmuda Aliyu Shinkafi, Abdul’aziz Yari, and Bello Mohammed Matawalle were present and made clear commitments to the APC and the re-election bid of the president and the governor.
