Lagos APC Chairman, Pastor Cornelius Ojelabi, congratulated council members, urging them to begin work immediately as the election draws near.

He urged the team to campaign across all parts of the state to ensure strong voter mobilisation for the APC.

Ojelabi also encouraged them to highlight the achievements of local governments in Lagos to attract voter support.
