Recent attempts to portray Hon. Mojeed Fatai Adebola’s potential re-election bid as facing a “growing wave of concern” have been firmly dismissed as exaggerated and misleading, failing to reflect the true sentiment across Ibeju-Lekki Constituency I.
It is important to reiterate that seeking re-election remains a fundamental constitutional right of every qualified Nigerian. Hon. Adebola, like any other aspirant, is fully entitled to present himself before his party and the electorate. Any effort to discourage this right undermines the very principles of democracy. Ultimately, the power to decide rests solely with the people, who will judge based on performance, trust, and credibility.
Contrary to the claims being circulated, Hon. Adebola continues to enjoy widespread and verifiable support across the constituency. This backing cuts across traditional institutions, political stakeholders, LGA and ward executives, women leaders, and apex leadership structures. These endorsements are not superficial—they represent the genuine confidence of the grassroots in his leadership and service delivery.
The All Progressives Congress (APC) maintains a transparent and inclusive process for all aspirants. Participation in the party primaries, overseen by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), ensures a level playing field where no candidate is unfairly excluded. Every aspirant has the opportunity to test their popularity through due process.
Observers note that attempts to discredit Hon. Adebola appear driven by desperation rather than substance. Political popularity cannot be manufactured through media narratives or unfounded agitation. It is built over time through consistent engagement, visibility, and service to the people—qualities that have defined Hon. Adebola’s tenure.
There is no crisis within the constituency, nor any suppression of democratic rights. What exists is a vibrant democratic process, a performing legislator with a proven track record, and a politically aware electorate ready to make informed decisions when the time comes.
Hon. Mojeed Fatai Adebola remains committed to serving the people of Ibeju-Lekki Constituency I and upholding democratic values. As always, the final decision will rest with the electorate.
“Iṣẹ Olúwa Å„ tẹ sÃwájú beyond 2027.”
