Read Time:2 Minute, 0 Second
For the re-election of Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu and the realization of the presidential ambitions of the All Progressives Congress (APC) presidential candidate, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, an Independent Campaign Group (ICG) has been launched in Lagos State.
Cardinal James Odunmbaku, also known as Baba Eto, is a prominent politician and Christian leader. He is the leader of the independent group, which would support the Lagos APC’s current campaign.
The Director General of the ICG is Mr. Tayo Ayinde, Chief of Staff to the Governor, who oversaw a comparable effort in 2018. All the directorates under the group will have Ayinde directing their operations.
The ICG was created specifically to mobilize voters at the local level in order to reach the goal of five million votes for the party’s presidential candidate and to deliver votes throughout the councils of Lagos for the party’s gubernatorial candidate.
According to Odunmbaku, the ICG’s mandate was to establish a permeable structure that would autonomously carry the party’s electoral activities to the grassroots. He claimed that the organization’s goal was to work its way up from the bottom.
He said: “Our work is a simple but technical one, because we operate from the grassroots to the top level. This Independent Campaign Group is an assembly of grassroots volunteers and mobilisers working for the actualisation of the presidential ambition of our leader, Asiwaju Tinubu, and for the re-election of our performing Governor Sanwo-Olu.
“Everyone appointed into this group has been given the charge to engage Lagosians on our message. They have shown their readiness to work and take the campaign to the voters in theirs abodes. Our operation and activities are independent of the party’s ongoing campaign but we will be working in complementary to the campaign activities of the party.”
At the group’s office in GRA, Ikeja, the 60 directorate heads were sworn in on Friday.
Deputy Director General Bashorun Sikiru Alabi-McFoy is in charge. The group’s advisor is Hon. Kolade Alabi, chairman of Conference 57 in Lagos.
The ICG has four assistant directors general in each of the three senatorial districts. In Lagos West, two assistant directors general are in charge of managing the group’s operations in the Badagry and Ikeja divisions.
The Directorate of Digital Communications is run by Jubril Gawat, a well-known social media user and Senior Special Assistant to Governor Sanwo-Olu on New Media.
