Delegates drawn from the 376 wards across the state attended the congress. Chairman of the State Congress Committee, Stella Okotete, presented the agreed list of executives, which was ratified through a voice vote by party members.
Among those elected alongside Ojelabi are Moshood Olanrewaju as Deputy Chairman; Adeola Jokomba as Secretary; Azizat Mariam as Assistant Secretary; Seye Oladejo as Publicity Secretary; Babajide Sunday as Vice Chairman; Shola Eletu as Woman Leader; and Ayodele Adewale as Organising Secretary.
The exercise attracted top figures within the party, including Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu; his deputy, Obafemi Hamzat; Speaker of the Lagos State House of Assembly, Mudasiru Obasa; leader of the Governor’s Advisory Council, Tajudeen Olusi; and Secretary to the State Government, Bimbola Salu-Hundeyin.
Former Governor Akinwunmi Ambode, governorship hopeful Olajide Adediran, and former Senator Ganiyu Solomon were also in attendance, alongside other party leaders and stakeholders.
