"From the crowd here, you can tell that the SMA Movement across the 360 plus wards are not playing, we will deliver nothing less than 300 votes.


“Stakeholders must prioritise unity and allow a fair and direct process that accommodates the aspirations of members across all levels,” he said.




The aspirant reaffirmed his loyalty to the APC and its leadership, pledging continued support for Tinubu’s administration.


“We are committed to the success of our party and will work tirelessly to ensure victory for APC in all elections, delivering Lagos with wide margins in 2027,” he added.




Ajose also canvassed support for himself, he described himself as a credible governorship prospect from the Badagry axis.




“It is important to promote equity and inclusion in Lagos politics. 



"Badagry has yet to produce a governor since the state’s creation, and it is time to address that imbalance,” he said.




The event drew representatives from all the 57 Local Government Areas and Local Council Development Areas (LCDAs) in the state, including men, women and youths.



Members of the SMA Movement pledged unwavering loyalty to party directives, reiterating their commitment to mobilising grassroots support for Tinubu’s re-election and the APC’s overall success in future polls.
