ADC Lagos Disowns Alleged ‘South West Secretariat’ Fundraising Message


The African Democratic Congress (ADC), Lagos State Chapter, has distanced itself from a viral social media message alleging that certain individuals made financial contributions toward a purported “South West Secretariat” and urging members of the public to contact a named individual for support.

In an official disclaimer issued on behalf of the party, the Lagos State Secretary, Comrade Festus Duru, described the publication as fraudulent, misleading, and unauthorized.

According to the statement, the message did not emanate from the Lagos State Chapter of the ADC and was neither issued nor approved by the State Chairman, the State Secretary, nor any recognized organ of the party in Lagos State.

“The Lagos State Chapter of ADC dissociates itself completely from the content of the said message and from the individuals responsible for its circulation,” the statement read, warning that those behind the publication are not acting on behalf of the party.

The party further cautioned members, supporters, and the general public to disregard the message entirely and to avoid making any financial commitments based on the false claims. It advised that all inquiries or intended support for the party should be channelled strictly through its officially recognized communication platforms.

Reaffirming its commitment to transparency, accountability, and lawful political engagement, ADC Lagos State stressed that it would not condone impersonation, misinformation, or any attempt to exploit the party’s name for fraudulent purposes.

The chapter reiterated that it remains united and focused on its progressive mission.

Comrade Festus Duru
State Secretary, ADC Lagos State

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...
