PRESS STATEMENTON THE UNLAWFUL TAKEOVER OF ADC EVENT CENTER IN ALIMOSHO LOCAL GOVERNMENT, LAGOS STATE.

PRESS STATEMENT
ON THE UNLAWFUL TAKEOVER OF ADC EVENT CENTER IN ALIMOSHO LOCAL GOVERNMENT, LAGOS STATE

The African Democratic Congress (ADC) National Media Frontiers Nationwide wishes to bring to the notice of Nigerians, members of the international community, civil society organizations, and lovers of democracy the unlawful disruption of our scheduled coalition coverage program in Alimosho Local Government, Lagos State.

Our attention has been drawn to the unfortunate development where the Lagos State Police Command has taken over the event center slated for tomorrow’s program, thereby denying our party the constitutional right to freely associate, gather, and express ourselves in line with democratic principles.

This action is not only a violation of our freedom of assembly and political participation, but it also raises serious concerns about the fairness and openness of the democratic space in Nigeria. As a registered political party, the ADC has the lawful right to organize, mobilize, and engage with citizens without intimidation, harassment, or undue obstruction.

We strongly condemn this act and call on the relevant authorities, including the Inspector General of Police, the Lagos State Government, and the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), to intervene immediately and ensure that our event is not hindered. Democracy cannot thrive in an atmosphere where opposition parties are denied the basic right to organize lawful gatherings.

We urge our party faithful, supporters, and members across the country to remain calm and law-abiding in the face of this provocation. The ADC remains committed to the ideals of peace, justice, and democracy, and no act of intimidation will deter us from pursuing the mandate of building a united and prosperous Nigeria.

Signed:
Hon.Ismail haruna 
Director General of 
ADC National Media Frontiers Nationwide

FROM BLACKOUT TO BRIGHT LIGHTS: How Dr. Naheem Balogun Rewrote Epe’s Story

Image
   For more than six years, large parts of Epe were trapped in darkness — not because the people were forgotten, but because leadership failed to act.      Then, change came — not from government power, but from personal responsibility. Before holding any public office, Dr. Naheem Abiodun Balogun, fondly known as Imole Eko, took a bold step that redefined community leadership: he restored light to Epe.       Across all 19 wards, over 534 solar-powered streetlights were installed, turning once-dangerous roads into safe pathways, reviving night trading, and improving community security. For residents, it was not just illumination — it was a return to normal life.       But the transformation did not stop with streetlights. More than 3,000 youths were trained and empowered with practical skills, including solar installation and maintenance. At graduation, they did not leave with certificates alone — they received working to...
