Epe LG Chair Backs Tinubu’s 2027 Re-Election Bid

Princess Surah Animashaun, Executive Chairman of Epe Local Government Council, has declared her support for President Bola Tinubu's re-election bid in 2027. The announcement was made during a caucus meeting with All Progressives Congress stakeholders at the council secretariat in Ita-Marun, Epe, on Saturday. Animashaun stated the endorsement followed consultations with former and serving members of the House of Assembly, House of Representatives, and APC leaders in Epe division. She described local government as the closest arm of government to the people, saying it bears direct responsibility for translating national policies into community impact.

Animashaun credited Tinubu's administration with progress in local government autonomy, infrastructure, security, agriculture, and economic management. She said these policies were already delivering tangible improvements in communities. "These policies are not mere promises, they are realities that are transforming lives in our communities and creating safer environments for economic and social activities," she said. The council chair formally pledged the caucus' "total, unwavering, and unconditional support" for Tinubu's second-term ambition.

She also expressed backing for the re-election of House of Representatives member Hon. Wale Tasir Raji and Lagos State House of Assembly member Hon. Abiodun Mustain Tobun. Animashaun called on APC leaders, former chairmen, councillors, ward leaders, and grassroots mobilisers across Epe division to begin election preparations. "We must organise, mobilise, and enlighten our people. We must take this message to every polling unit, every ward, and every household," she said.
