The African Democratic Congress (ADC) candidate for Agege Federal Constituency, Hon. Seyi Kazeem Sarumi, has officially begun his campaign for the 2027 House of Representatives election. The launch event, which took place over the weekend, drew a large crowd of supporters from across the constituency. They chanted slogans in support of Sarumi, including "Imole" (Light) and "Seyi mukezo, o ti wole" (Seyi is the one we know, he is already victorious).
During the event, Sarumi received the ADC flag from senior party officials, formally marking the start of his campaign. He stated that his decision to contest was driven by what he described as widespread dissatisfaction with the quality of representation in the constituency. Sarumi claimed that he has the backing of the majority of Agege constituents who are tired of years of ineffective representation.
Sarumi's campaign is built around a "rescue mission" to deliver people-oriented representation. He promised that if elected, he would pursue a focused leadership that prioritizes the needs of the constituents. Sarumi emphasized that his campaign aims to put an end to self-serving politics and deliver a new era of representation for Agege.
Sarumi also urged his opponents to maintain peaceful conduct throughout the electioneering period. He described them as brothers despite the political contest, stating that the goal is to lead a "rescue agenda" rather than target opponents. Sarumi expressed confidence that his campaign would prevail at the polls, stating that his opponents would be handed a clear defeat.
The ADC candidate is expected to contest against the All Progressives Congress (APC) candidate, Rt. Hon. Mudashiru Obasa, Speaker of the Lagos State House of Assembly, for the Agege Federal Constituency seat in 2027. Sarumi's campaign launch marks the beginning of a competitive election season in the constituency.
Sarumi's campaign rally was well-attended, with supporters showing enthusiasm for his candidacy. The event featured chants and slogans in support of Sarumi, indicating a strong show of support for his campaign. The ADC candidate is expected to face stiff competition from other candidates, including the incumbent APC representative.
As the campaign season heats up, Sarumi's focus on a "rescue mission" and people-oriented representation is likely to be a key message in his campaign. The 2027 House of Representatives election in Agege Federal Constituency is expected to be closely contested, with several candidates vying for the seat.
