“

As a Chairman of Epe Local Government Council Area and the custodians of grassroots governance, we are indeed the closest arm of government to the people. We feel their pains, understand their aspirations, and work daily to translate government policies into real impact at the community level.

As the "closest arm of government to the people," she emphasized the council's unique position to understand and address community needs, aligning their support with policies that demonstrably benefit the populace.

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.

The Epe council chairman lauded President Tinubu's administration, citing specific reforms in local government autonomy, infrastructure development, security, agriculture, and economic management. She asserted that these policies are not just promises but tangible realities transforming lives and fostering safer environments for economic and social activities within communities. The caucus has pledged its "total, unwavering, and unconditional support" for Tinubu's re-election, alongside endorsements for local representatives Hon. Wale Tasir Raji and Hon. Abiodun Mustain Tobun, urging a concerted mobilization effort across Epe division.

We must organise, mobilise, and enlighten our people. We must take this message to every polling unit, every ward, and every household.
