Yaba (Lagos State), July 18, 2025, Significant political developments have emerged from Ward D in Yaba Local Council Development Area (LCDA), the constituency of a serving Member of the House of Representatives, following the recent local government elections.
In a surprising twist, the council chairman, a member of the All Progressives Congress (APC) was reported to have thrown financial and moral support behind the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) councillorship candidate.
This unusual alliance had a considerable impact on the ward’s electoral outcome and raised eyebrows within political circles.
Further complicating the political landscape, the leader of the Mainland Voice political group fielded candidates under parties other than the APC.
These candidates were allegedly funded by Hon. Kayode Omiyale and Hon. Olajide Jimoh, adding another layer of intrigue to the ward’s political maneuvering.
These events underscore the intricate web of alliances, cross-party support, and internal conflicts that often define local politics in Lagos State.
Such dynamics not only influence electoral results but also reflect the evolving power structures within political parties at the grassroots level.
As these developments unfold, it becomes increasingly important for residents to remain engaged and vigilant.
Transparency, accountability, and community participation are essential in strengthening democratic processes.
We urge citizens of Ward D, Yaba LCDA, and the wider Lagos Mainland to stay informed and play active roles in shaping local governance for the collective good.
