The people of Lagos are watching. Party faithful are expectant. The youths are impatient for opportunity. Women demand inclusion. Professionals seek policy clarity,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>Outlining his agenda, Fawole identified three core priorities for the new executive: rebuilding public trust, strengthening party structures from the ward level to the state, and fostering unity across all tendencies within the party.<\/p>\n<p>He stressed that electoral victories would not be secured by rhetoric alone but by discipline, consistency and strong internal organisation.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cRescuing Lagos is not about slogans; it is about organisation, discipline and consistency. It requires sacrifice from leaders and loyalty from members. It requires courage to speak the truth and wisdom to build consensus,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>The chairman also assured party leaders across the South-West and at the national level of the Lagos PDP\u2019s readiness to play a strategic role in boosting the party\u2019s regional and national relevance, pledging cooperation to expand its political influence.<\/p>\n<p>He extended an olive branch to the media and civil society organisations, welcoming scrutiny and noting that accountability is essential to democratic governance.<\/p>\n<p>Addressing party members and supporters, Fawole called for patience, unity and resilience, expressing confidence that a united and organised PDP could alter the political landscape of the state.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis inauguration is not an end; it is the beginning of renewed energy, disciplined politics and a Lagos where governance serves the people, not structures of privilege. Together, we will organise. Together, we will mobilise. Together, we will win,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <span style=\"color: #ff6600\">Nigeria<\/span> Follow <span style=\"color: #ff6600\">Africa-Press<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Nigeria.
