APM's Laja Adeoye Excluded from Gen Z Town Hall Event

The exclusion of Prince Laja Adeoye, the Lagos State governorship candidate for the Allied Peoples Movement (APM), from a recent Gen Z Town Hall has been criticized by Olusegun Taiwo, the Senior Special Assistant on Digital Media Communication to the Laja Adeoye Campaign Organisation (LACO). Taiwo described the decision as a “missed opportunity” for young Lagosians to engage with Adeoye and examine his policy proposals ahead of the 2027 governorship election.

He emphasized that political town halls should allow voters to hear from, question, and compare candidates. Adeoye’s campaign agenda, titled Àtúntò Èkó 1.0 or the RESET Lagos Agenda, addresses critical issues such as housing, traffic congestion, flooding, waste management, unemployment, education, insecurity, electricity, healthcare, infrastructure, and environmental management.

Taiwo stated that the APM’s agenda aligns with a broader national vision under presidential candidate Engr. Seyi Makinde, focusing on economic growth, job creation, and human capital development.
