Adelaja Adeoye, a governorship aspirant of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Lagos State, has donated operational equipment to the party's state secretariat as part of preparations for the 2027 general elections. The donation, facilitated through his Laja Adeoye Campaign Organisation (LACO), aims to enhance working conditions and administrative efficiency within the opposition party in the state, according to a statement obtained by Legit.ng.
Lagos PDP Secretariat Gets Operational Boost
The donated items include air conditioners, refrigerators, a sound system, and dozens of plastic chairs. These were presented by LACO coordinator Otunba Ademola Alebiosu, alongside Yusuf Fadeyi, Adeoye's special assistant on general duties. The equipment was received by Lagos PDP Chairman Dr. Amos Fawole, accompanied by other party officials at the secretariat. Party leaders welcomed the donation, describing it as timely support for party administration.
Adeoye Pushes Grassroots Rebuilding Agenda for 2027
Adeoye, a real estate entrepreneur, stated that the gesture is part of his broader plan to strengthen the PDP's structure across Lagos State. He emphasized the need for stronger grassroots organization as the party works to reposition itself in a state dominated by the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC). “It is crucial to develop the party at the grassroots, deepen democracy, and ensure that accurate information about the PDP reaches the people,” he said. He also pledged continued support for the party ahead of future political activities.
Adeoye Calls for Unity in Lagos PDP
The aspirant called for unity among party members, urging stakeholders to collaborate from ward to state level to rebuild the PDP's strength. He praised party elder Chief Olabode George, describing him as a “tireless leader” whose efforts in sustaining the party in Lagos should be supported by younger members. “For the party to truly take over power and deliver meaningful dividends of democracy to the good people of Lagos, all hands must be on deck,” he said.
Adeoye Backs Turaki-led PDP Ahead of Supreme Court Verdict
Adeoye also expressed solidarity with key PDP leaders, including National Chairman Kabiru Tanimu Turaki (SAN), Governor Seyi Makinde, Chief Bode George, and Lagos PDP Chairman Dr. Amos Fawole. He referenced the ongoing legal matter involving the party at the Supreme Court, saying members must remain united regardless of the outcome. “We are ready to accept and follow whichever decision our party leaders take following the outcome of the case at the Supreme Court,” he said.
This latest donation adds to Adeoye's previous support for the party's activities in Lagos. In 2023, his campaign organization reportedly provided motorcycles, laptops, and other empowerment tools to aid grassroots mobilization. He also contributed over 10 million naira to support PDP candidates during the last local government elections, according to party sources.
Adeoye Meets Bode George and Others
Legit.ng previously reported that Adeoye met with PDP executives in Lagos and the Southwest, as well as leaders of the party's women and youth wings, during a meeting at the party secretariat in Ikeja on Friday, April 17. The meeting was part of a series of engagements by the aspirant aimed at building support within the party ahead of the primaries. It was gathered that the latest talks follow earlier meetings with senior party figures, including PDP chieftain Olabode George and local government party leaders across Lagos.
