The Amuwo Decides 2023 Forum has endorsed Mr. Victor Thomas Onwubiko, candidate of the Nigeria Democratic Congress for Amuwo Odofin Constituency II in the Lagos State House of Assembly, ahead of the 2027 general election.
The endorsement was made when Onwubiko paid a consultative visit to the forum, where he was received by the Convener, Mr. Ndubuisi Okafor, alongside other community leaders and stakeholders in the Amuwo Odofin area.
During the meeting, the community leaders listened to the candidate as he discussed his political aspirations, his understanding of the challenges confronting residents and his vision for effective representation of the constituency if elected in 2027.
The engagement also provided an opportunity for Onwubiko to interact directly with community stakeholders and seek their counsel on issues affecting the people of Amuwo Odofin Constituency II.
At the end of the meeting, members of the forum expressed their support for his aspiration and prayed for his success in the forthcoming 2027 election.
The leaders wished Onwubiko well in his political journey and encouraged him to remain committed to the interests and welfare of the people he seeks to represent.
The meeting reflects the longstanding role of Amuwo Decides as a community-based platform concerned with political engagement and accountability. In 2023, the forum, under the leadership of Okafor, organised a town hall meeting that brought candidates contesting various elective positions to interact with residents and respond to questions on development challenges in Amuwo Odofin.
At the time, Okafor emphasised the importance of citizens participating actively in the electoral process and choosing representatives capable of addressing the needs of their communities. The forum also highlighted concerns including infrastructure, environmental challenges, flooding, tank farms, container terminals, traffic and the general development of Amuwo Odofin.
The latest consultative meeting with Onwubiko therefore provided another opportunity for community stakeholders to engage directly with a prospective representative ahead of the 2027 elections.
Onwubiko, while presenting himself to the community leaders, sought their support and guidance as he prepares for the contest on the NDC platform. The visit was also presented as part of his broader consultations with residents, community leaders and stakeholders across the constituency.
The community leaders, in turn, offered prayers for the candidate and wished him success in the forthcoming election.
The development comes as political activities and consultations begin to intensify ahead of the 2027 general elections, with prospective candidates engaging community organisations, political stakeholders and residents across Lagos State.
For Amuwo Odofin Constituency II, issues of effective representation, infrastructure, environmental management, security, transportation, economic opportunities and improved engagement between elected representatives and constituents remain important subjects in political discussions.
The endorsement by the Amuwo Decides 2023 Forum adds a new dimension to Onwubiko’s campaign and community outreach as he seeks the support of voters in the constituency.
The forum’s engagement with the candidate also underscores the importance of consultations between political aspirants and community stakeholders before elections, particularly on issues affecting residents at the grassroots.
The meeting ended on a positive note, with the community leaders praying for Onwubiko and wishing him success as he continues his consultations and preparations for the 2027 Lagos State House of Assembly election 2023 Forum has endorsed Mr. Victor Thomas Onwubiko, candidate of the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC) for Amuwo Odofin Constituency II in the Lagos State House of Assembly, ahead of the 2027 general election.
