The declaration came during a strategic meeting held between Engr.

The meeting was led by the Leader of the House in Akinyele Local Government, Hon. Kazeem Kolawole Rafiu, alongside the Leader of the House in Lagelu Local Government, Hon. Idogbe Aduragbemi, with several Honourable Councillors in attendance.
According to sources present at the meeting, the councillors unanimously expressed confidence in the leadership capacity and political direction of Engr. Toheeb Adegoke ADLAT, describing him as one of the few emerging political figures who remains deeply connected to the grassroots.
The honorable councillors also reportedly assured the APM candidate of their readiness to work collectively towards ensuring the party records a strong outing in the constituency during the 2027 elections.
Participants at the meeting emphasized the need for a new style of representation rooted in accessibility, engagement and direct understanding of the challenges confronting ordinary residents across Akinyele and Lagelu communities.
