Lagos Assembly leader Noheem Adams seeks 2027 re-election
Majority Leader of the Lagos State House of Assembly, Noheem Adams, on Saturday formally declared his intention to seek re-election in 2027. Adams unveiled a campaign he says is anchored on continuity, infrastructural expansion, and support for President Bola Tinubu’s political leadership in Lagos. The declaration, held along the Coastal Road corridor in Victoria Island, transformed Eti-Osa Constituency I into a sea of All Progressives Congess colours as several hundred party loyalists, traditional rulers, youth groups, residents’ associations, and political stakeholders gathered beneath blue, red, and green canopies emblazoned with party insignia.

In speech after speech, speakers framed Adams as a lawmaker whose political value now extended beyond Eti-Osa itself. Addressing the gathering, Adams traced his renewed ambition to what he described as overwhelming pressure from constituents and party structures who, according to him, insisted that he continue representing the constituency. “About a month ago, the working community leaders called me to come and explain to all the leaders what I have done within my years in the House of Assembly,” he said. “And I explained to them the projects I had facilitated through Eti-Osa Constituency I, a lot of projects. And I made them understand that Eti-Osa Constituency I is the most beneficial of the dividends of democracy in Lagos and Nigeria today.” He argued that the constituency had become a direct beneficiary of both federal and state power because of its strategic political significance. “The president of Nigeria today, Eti-Osa is his immediate con...
