WHY DID CHAIRMAN ADETOLA ADUNNI ABUBAKAR ENDORSE MAYOR DELE OSHINOWO AND DR. MURITALA BEFORE OFFICIAL CONFIRMATION?

INEC fake result statement



Following the APC primary process in Lagos State, some political observers and party members within Kosofe have raised questions regarding the public endorsement and congratulatory messages issued by the Executive Chairman of Agboyi-Ketu LCDA, Hon. (Mrs.) Adetola Adunni Abubakar, in support of Mayor Dele Oshinowo and Dr. Muritala.

The questions being asked are not necessarily allegations, but political questions that naturally arise during election periods.

Among them are:

• Was the endorsement based on information already available within party structures?

• Was the Chairman expressing confidence in the outcome of the primary process?

• Was there any form of political pressure or expectation from party leadership?

• Did the endorsement create a public perception that official processes had already been concluded?


Following INEC’s subsequent clarification that a purported candidate list circulating online was fake and unauthorized, these questions have gained additional attention among some party members and political observers.

However, it is important to state that there is currently no public evidence suggesting that the Chairman acted improperly or under any form of coercion.

In politics, elected officials and party leaders often issue congratulatory messages based on outcomes communicated through party channels before formal documentation is released by electoral authorities.


WHAT SHOULD THE PEOPLE EXPECT?

The focus of citizens should remain on:

1. Official confirmation from recognized electoral and party authorities.

2. Transparency in political processes.

3. Respect for democratic procedures.

4. Continued engagement with elected representatives and candidates on issues affecting the people.

5. Accountability and delivery of campaign promises.

Ultimately, democracy is strengthened when citizens ask questions, seek clarification, and verify information through official channels rather than relying solely on social media narratives.


OGASTV OBSERVATION

Political endorsements are common in democratic systems. However, public confidence is best maintained when political communication aligns with officially verified information.

As the 2027 election cycle progresses, citizens should focus not only on endorsements and political alignments but also on policies, development records, leadership capacity, and the issues that directly affect their communities.

A healthy democracy thrives on participation, transparency, and informed public discourse.
