Chairmanship candidate of the All Progressives Congress, APC, in Mosan-Okunola Local Council Development Area, Hon. Adunni Akindele, has reaffirmed her commitment to inclusive governance, female empowerment, and youth development if elected into office.
Speaking after casting her vote in the local government elections, Akindele described women as key players in national progress. “There is this popular saying that no women, no nation,” she said.
She stated that her 10-point campaign agenda places strong emphasis on inclusive governance, with particular focus on women, youths, the elderly, and workers’ welfare.
Focus on women, youths, elderly
Akindele said, “I have a lot of programmes for the women, not the women alone, but the youth and the elderly too.”
The APC candidate, a former Vice Chairman and Executive Secretary of the same council, explained that her previous experience in grassroots administration had fully prepared her to deliver results from day one.
“I am 100 per cent prepared. It is as if I should get to the office tomorrow and swing into action,” she said.
Her plans include expanding employment opportunities, vocational training, road rehabilitation, improved lighting, and support for senior citizens – all built around the vision of inclusive governance.
Pledges workers’ welfare, infrastructure
Akindele pledged that her plans also include “welfarism for the workers,” stressing that her administration will work toward improved service delivery and infrastructure development across Mosan-Okunola LCDA.
She added that the benefits of her proposed programmes would extend beyond party lines. “Not my party alone, also members and the residents of Mosan-Okunola LCDA in general,” she affirmed.
Confidence in the electorate
As Lagosians headed to the polls, Akindele said she remained confident in the electoral process and the people’s will. She observed that while there were some delays, voter turn-out had begun to improve steadily.
“I trust the people. They know what they want and I believe they’ll come out to make their voices count,” she said.
