NDC Grassroots Mobilization

*TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN* Subject: *Request for Submission of NDC Polling Agents to Unauthorised Persons – A Potentially Fraudulent Directive* Please note that the message being circulated by one Miss Eunice Atuejide, requesting the submission of copies of the NDC Polling Agents' records to unauthorised persons, did not emanate from the National Secretariat of our Party, nor was it issued at the direction of our Presidential Candidate, Mr. Peter Obi. As Chairman of the Committee responsible for the Enlistment, Uploading and Training of NDC Polling and Collation Agents for the 2027 General Election, I wish to state categorically that my Committee, as constituted by the NWC, did not at any time engage or involve Miss Eunice Atuejide in its activities. Rather, the Committee issued two separate forms for the enlistment of Polling and Collation Agents for the National and State elections. The States, alongside candidates of the party, have since complied with the process, leading to the training of personnel at different levels to undertake the uploading of agents on the INEC portal, which commences today. For the purpose of clarity, my Committee, at a meeting held at the Old National Secretariat of our Party on Tuesday, 10th November 2026, raised this issue with the Director-General of the National Campaign Council and Hajia Aisha Yesufu, both of whom confirmed their non-involvement in any such arrangement with Miss Atuejide. This has understandably left party and campaign officials wondering about the basis and intention for such a self-appointed undertaking. Meanwhile, in order to arrest the confusion already being generated by this ill-directed message, officials, candidates and members of the NDC are hereby advised to disregard the message and guard against the possibility of the Party's agents' personal details being used for purposes other than those for which they were intended. Kindly, therefore, disregard any announcement emanating from any source other than the officially recognised channels of the Party. Where any ambiguity arises, members are encouraged to seek clarification directly from appropriate Party offices. Please also be guided that any communication or directive contrary to the foregoing should be regarded as unauthorised and potentially fraudulent, and must be avoided like a plague. Thank you. *Babatunde Alli* _Deputy National Chairman South_ Chairman, Special Project Committee

Let us close ranks, work together, and present a solid, purposeful front that will deliver the NDC mandate to the people of Lagos State and Nigeria at large. The party is greater than any individual.

Last night, at the Governorship Debate Consortium, HE Funso Doherty left Lagosians stunned when he revealed that LAGOS IS OPERATING FAR BELOW ITS POTENTIAL! Lagos IGR, at N1.77 trillion, is more than 31 Nigerian states combined! He insists it's punching way below its weight. WHERE IS ALL THE MONEY GOING INTO??? Lagosians start seeking answers to this very crucial question. Thank you for making NDC proud HE Funso Doherty. Lagosians are Completely OK!

Lagosians we are Ready for Thursday 12th of November, 2026. Lagos will Roar! Lagos is OK O Ti Ya!

SIT BACK AND TAKE IT! REMEMBER 2023's THIEF IN THE NIGHT. NDC! SERVICE TO THE MASSES! Announce to your family, your friends, your colleagues, leaders, followers, neighbours, classmates, peers, everyone, Nobody is leaving until we take our victory. Every Obidient shall sit back and protect your vote. It is dangerous to see your victory, rejoice home and relax without CLINCHING YOUR VICTORY IN YOUR PALMS. It is going to be 'Operation Win Your Polling Unit, Sit Back and Collect Your Victory!' Follow them to the Collation. Don't get tired. Keep following until Your Victory is Announced. A few hours of waiting will save Nigeria. 'OPERATION SIT BACK AND TAKE YOUR VICTORY'. In 2023, we won, but many went home without waiting. The end was bitter. Our Mandate was stolen AT MIDNIGHT! Never again! Tell someone to tell someone, To Sit Back and Take It. Nigeria must be Ok! Because IT IS TIME! O TI YA!

A SOLEMN TRIBUTE, A REMARKABLE GATHERING OF LEADERSHIP The Service of Songs in honour of veteran Chief Okey Ezeibe, the leader of Trade fair market who died a couple of months back was a solemn occasion befitting a distinguished life and legacy. However, the arrival of our NDC Presidential Candidate, His Excellency Peter Obi, alongside the NDC Lagos State Governorship Candidate, His Excellency Funso Doherty, and the NDC House of Representatives Candidate for Amuwo-Odofin Federal Constituency, Honourable Omogeye, sparked an extraordinary wave of excitement among supporters. The presence of Honourable Moshood Salvador, the Senatorial Candidate of Lagos West under NDC was also very much appreciated. Also in attendance were the NDC Deputy Governorship Candidate, Dr Tolani Animashaun, and Honourable Adedayo Akin-Taylor Ekong, NDC National Vice Chairman, South-West, and House of Representatives Candidate for Eti-Osa Federal Constituency. Numerous candidates and leaders of the Nigeria Democratic Congress graciously honoured this solemn gathering. Thank you, NDC, for giving us Peter Obi, Funso Doherty and an exceptional team of credible, competent and forward-thinking candidates! The hope is alive. The movement is growing. The time is now! May Chief Okey Ezeibe's soul rest in perfect peace. God bless NDC! God bless Lagos State! God bless the Federal Republic of Nigeria! Ọ̀ TÍ YÁ! THE TIME IS NOW!

THANK YOU, ALIMOSHO! LAGOS IS OK! What we witnessed in Alimosho today was more than a political rally; it was a powerful demonstration of genuine love, unwavering solidarity and the growing determination of Nigerians to reclaim their country. This is what organic support looks like; pure, unfiltered and undiluted! The morale is soaring, the movement is gathering unprecedented momentum, and Nigerians are increasingly uniting behind a shared vision of a new Nigeria. The message is loud and clear: The people are ready, the movement is unstoppable, and this train cannot be slowed down, derailed or stopped! Earlier today, His Excellency, Rabiu Kwankwaso, our own HE Funso Doherty, Hon. Dayo Akin-Taylor Ekong, Hon. Ladi Johnson and several other NDC Lagos candidates stormed Alimosho, where they were received with an extraordinary outpouring of love, excitement and solidarity. The overwhelming reception and the massive show of support on display speak volumes about the growing acceptance of the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC) and the leadership of our principal, His Excellency Peter Obi, alongside His Excellency Rabiu Kwankwaso, and our own Lagos governorship candidate, HE Funso Doherty. Alimosho has spoken, and the message resonates far beyond its borders. The people are yearning for credible leadership, purposeful governance and a country that works for everyone. This is not just a political movement; it is a people's movement. A movement driven by hope, powered by the people and destined for transformation. The energy is real. The love is organic. The momentum is undeniable. 2027 is calling, and Lagos State and Nigeria shall be OK! NDC! TOP TO BOTTOM! @funsodoherty @PeterObi @KwankwasoRM

FUNSO DOHERTY EXPOSES THE PYRAMID OF AGBEROISM AND MULTI-LAYERED TAXATION ON LAGOS ROADS; THE PYRAMID. The Lagos State Governorship Candidate of the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC), HE Funso Doherty, has drawn attention to what he describes as an entrenched system of agberoism and multiple layers of taxation operating across Lagos roads, raising serious questions about who benefits from the system and the burden it places on residents, motorists, traders, and transport operators. Here's is the pyramid. According to Funso Doherty, the problem goes beyond the activities of individual street-level collectors. He argues that agberoism has evolved into a deeply entrenched structure, allegedly sustained by political interests and used as a channel for extracting revenue from ordinary Lagosians. His position raises a fundamental question: why has a problem that continues to affect the daily lives and economic activities of Lagos residents remained unresolved? Doherty argues that meaningful reform requires confronting the structures that sustain this system, rather than merely addressing its visible operators. Lagos deserves a transparent, accountable, and properly regulated transport and revenue collection system; one that protects livelihoods, eliminates arbitrary levies, and allows businesses and commuters to thrive without unnecessary financial burdens. The people of Lagos deserve answers, accountability, and a government that puts their welfare above political interests. The conversation about a cleaner, safer, and more accountable Lagos must begin with confronting the structures that undermine its progress. O TI YÁ! A New Lagos Is Possible. The New Way Has Come.

This is massive and extraordinary. Nigeria masses are gathering momentum and gearing up for 2027 elections. Taking back our country is non negotiable. HE Peter Obi and HE Rabiu Kwankwaso are non negotiable. The masses want this redemption; this revolution; this New Nigeria is Possible. Lagosians we are ready! We go again and we do it even greater! O Ti Ya!

GOVERNMENT MUST TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE PROVISION OF ESSENTIAL SOCIAL AMENITIES. -FUNSO DOHERTY At Silverbird TV’s Road to 2027, the Lagos State Governorship Candidate of the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC), HE Funso Doherty, on one on one interview, spoke extensively on the need for government to reclaim its responsibility for providing essential public services, including water, transportation, waste management, and healthcare. He emphasised that while private-sector participation remains important to economic growth and development, the provision of fundamental social amenities cannot be left entirely in the hands of private investors. These are critical areas where government must demonstrate leadership, invest public funds responsibly, and ensure that the needs of the people remain the priority. The New Lagos agenda recognises the value of private investment and welcomes responsible private-sector partnerships. However, such partnerships must complement, not replace, the government's fundamental duty to provide accessible, affordable, and reliable public services. For years, concerns have persisted over the management and delivery of these essential services in Lagos. The New Way, as articulated by HE Funso Doherty, calls for a government that prioritises public welfare, manages public resources transparently, and directs the funds generated by Lagos towards meeting the social needs of its residents. Under the vision of The New Way, government will be expected to take ownership of its responsibilities, strengthen public service delivery, and ensure that every Lagosian has access to the basic amenities necessary for a dignified life. A government must be accountable to the people it serves. Public resources must translate into public benefits. And the welfare of Lagosians must remain at the heart of governance. O TI YÁ! A New Lagos Is Possible. The New Way Has Come. #2027elections #Roadto2027

RULING PARTY HAS TURNED LAGOS INTO A CAGE OF CAPTIVITY; LAGOSIANS, FIGHT FOR YOUR FREEDOM! #ENDSARSMEMORIAL2026 #ENDSARSMEMORIAL The Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC), Lagos State Chapter, strongly condemns the reported use of tear gas by the police against opposition politicians, activists, and journalists gathered at the Lekki Toll Gate to commemorate the sixth anniversary of the #EndSARS protests. A solemn occasion dedicated to remembering Nigerians who lost their lives in the struggle against police brutality should never have been disrupted by violence, intimidation, or the suppression of peaceful assembly. Among those reportedly affected were HE Funso Doherty, NDC Governorship Candidate for Lagos State, his ADC counterpart, other opposition figures, activists, and journalists who had gathered to honour the victims of the 2020 protests. Six years after #EndSARS, the memory of those young Nigerians who demanded justice, accountability, and a better country remains alive. Their sacrifices must never be forgotten, and their call for a society where citizens can freely express themselves must never be silenced. Lagos must not become a cage of captivity where citizens are intimidated for exercising their fundamental rights. Democracy cannot thrive where peaceful remembrance is met with force, dissent is treated as a threat, and journalists face danger while carrying out their professional duties. We call on the Lagos State Government and the relevant security authorities to ensure that the rights to peaceful assembly, freedom of expression, and press freedom are respected and protected. We further demand a transparent investigation into the reported incident and accountability where misconduct is established. LAGOSIANS, THE TIME TO RECLAIM YOUR FREEDOM IS NOW! The struggle for a Lagos that works for everyone must continue through courage, solidarity, civic participation, and the democratic will of the people. Our freedom is not a privilege to be granted by those in power; it is a fundamental right that must be protected. The Nigeria Democratic Congress stands with the people of Lagos in the pursuit of justice, accountable leadership, human dignity, and a government that serves rather than intimidates its citizens. NEVER FORGET. NEVER BE SILENCED. NEVER SURRENDER YOUR FREEDOM. O TI YA! A NEW LAGOS IS POSSIBLE. #EndSARSMemorial #EndSARS #NDCLagos #FreedomOfAssembly #JusticeAndAccountability #ANewLagosIsPossible #NigeriaShallBeOK

PRESS STATEMENT NEW DATE FOR THE UNVEILING AND INAUGURATION OF NDC NATIONAL CAMPAIGN COUNCIL, NCC The NDC Leadership has announced a new date for the unveiling and inauguration of its National Campaign Council (NCC) earlier slated for Tuesday, 20th October, 2026. The event will now be held on Monday, 26th October, 2026. The shift is occasioned by the very tight schedule of our Presidential Candidate, His Excellency, Mr. Peter Obi, who has a very important engagement overseas. We apologize for any inconvenience caused by this shift and urge everyone not to lose focus on the goal of ensuring victory for our presidential candidate and all NDC candidates in the forthcoming presidential and general elections. A New Nigeria is POssible.! Signed: Osa Director Esq National Publicity Secretary, NDC 19th October, 2026 @NigeriaNDCHQ

2027 ELECTIONS: IT IS TIME TO PUT LAGOSIANS FIRST The Governorship Candidate of the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC) in Lagos State, HE Funso Doherty, declared, “My Dear Lagosians, For too long, we have endured a government that is disconnected from the aspirations, hopes, and pains of the people. Though the Almighty God has blessed us with abundant human and natural resources, our leaders in government, in whose hands those resources are entrusted, continue to prioritise narrow and self-serving interests over the welfare of the wider populace. As a result, most Lagosians cannot make ends meet, and more and more of us are daily sinking deeper and deeper into poverty. Many of our young people face near-insurmountable obstacles to get started in life, to earn a livelihood and to rent a home, let alone dream of one day owning one.” These words capture a fundamental question that every Lagosian must ask: **What is the true purpose of the government if the people continue to struggle despite living in a state with enormous economic potential? Lagos is Nigeria's commercial nerve centre, a state driven by enterprise, innovation, creativity, and the resilience of millions of hardworking residents. From our markets and small businesses to our industries, professional services, and technology sector, Lagosians contribute immensely to the economic life of our state and our nation. Yet, for too many residents, this economic activity has not translated into a better quality of life. The rising cost of living continues to place unbearable pressure on households. Food, transportation, accommodation, healthcare, and education consume an increasing share of family incomes. Workers struggle to meet their basic needs, small businesses battle mounting operating costs, and many parents find it increasingly difficult to provide their children with the opportunities they deserve. For millions, the daily struggle is no longer simply about getting ahead; it is about staying afloat. A government must not measure its success only by the wealth generated within its territory, but by how effectively that wealth and economic opportunity improve the lives of its people. Our young people deserve particular attention. They are talented, energetic, resourceful, and full of ideas, yet too many face serious barriers to employment, entrepreneurship, affordable housing, and financial independence. A young graduate should not have to abandon ambition because decent work is difficult to find. A young entrepreneur should not have to give up on a promising business because the environment makes survival almost impossible. And a hardworking young professional should have a realistic opportunity to rent a decent home and, eventually, aspire to homeownership. Our women, traders, artisans, transport workers, civil servants, teachers, healthcare professionals, and small business owners also deserve a government that recognises their daily struggles and creates an enabling environment for them to prosper. This is why leadership matters. The resources of Lagos belong to the people, and their management must reflect the interests and aspirations of the people. Public office is a responsibility to serve, not a privilege to be used for personal enrichment or political advantage. The Nigeria Democratic Congress believes Lagos can do better. We believe governance must be anchored on accountability, transparency, responsible management of public finances, inclusive economic growth, and policies that create opportunities for ordinary residents. Under the leadership vision of HE Funso Doherty, the NDC campaign is advancing the case for a Lagos where government works for the people. A New Lagos is Possible! A Lagos where government listens, engages, advocates, and delivers. Ọ̀NÀ TUNTUN; O Ti Ya! #FunsoDoherty #NDCLagos #ANewLagosIsPossible #ONATUNTUN #OTiYa #NDCTopToBottom

THE MANDATE TO GOVERN AND LEAD THE PEOPLE: LISTEN, ENGAGE, ADVOCATE AND DELIVER Leadership is more than occupying an office. It is a responsibility to listen to the people, understand their concerns, engage with their communities, advocate for their needs, and deliver meaningful results that improve their lives. For Lagos State, the conversation about leadership must focus on the people and the issues that shape their everyday experiences. From the cost of living and access to economic opportunities to infrastructure, public services, and accountable governance, Lagosians deserve a government that listens to their voices and takes their concerns seriously. The mandate to lead the people comes with a responsibility to listen, engage, advocate, and deliver. These are the principles that should define public service and guide every decision made in the interest of the people. As the campaign for the governorship of Lagos State continues, Funso Doherty presents his candidacy under the banner of the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC), with a message centred on leadership, public accountability, and the need to put the interests of Lagosians at the heart of governance. The task ahead requires more than promises. It calls for open engagement with communities, transparent decision-making, responsible management of public resources, and a commitment to translating public concerns into practical policies and measurable outcomes. A government that listens must be willing to hear every voice. A government that engages must create opportunities for citizens to participate in decisions affecting their lives. A government that advocates must stand for the interests of the people, while a government that delivers must be prepared to demonstrate results and remain accountable for its commitments. These are important expectations for anyone seeking the mandate to govern Lagos State. As Funso Doherty seeks the support of Lagosians, the central message is clear: leadership must be understood as a duty to the people, not merely a position of authority. Vote Funso Doherty for Governor, Lagos State. The mandate to lead the people comes with a responsibility to listen, engage, advocate, and deliver. Ó TÍ YÁ! It Is Time! A New Lagos Is Possible. #FunsoDoherty #NDC #Lagos2027 #OTiYa #ANewLagosIsPossible
