The Lagos State chapter of the African Action Congress (AAC) has announced a press conference scheduled to take place on Tuesday, April 29, 2025, at 11:00 a.m.

The event will be held at Plot 16, Saratu Close, right after Araromi Bus Stop, Iyana Ipaja, Lagos.

According to the invitation signed by Folayemi Akinfolarin, Organizing Secretary, and Jedege Kehinde, State Secretary, the focus of the press briefing will be the state of local government elections in Lagos and what the party describes as the “lawlessness” of key state institutions.

Specifically, the AAC plans to address issues involving the Lagos State Government, the Lagos State House of Assembly, and the Lagos State Independent Electoral Commission (LASIEC).

In their communication to the press, AAC officials expressed grave concerns over what they allege to be unconstitutional practices, disregard for due process, and manipulative tactics deployed by the state authorities to suppress genuine democratic processes at the local level.

The AAC leadership plans to use the platform to outline the ongoing injustices, propose corrective measures, and unveil new strategies to ensure that grassroots democracy is protected in Lagos State.

Members of the media, civil society groups, and the general public are encouraged to attend as the AAC reaffirms its commitment to transparent governance, electoral integrity, and the protection of the democratic rights of all Lagosians.

The press conference is anticipated to set the stage for broader political discussions ahead of upcoming local government polls and could signal heightened political activities in the state in the coming months.
