Former Lagos lawmaker Rotimi Olowo has officially announced his candidacy for the Shomolu Federal Constituency seat in the 2027 House of Representatives elections, representing the All Progressives Congress (APC). This move comes amid growing political maneuvering as various parties prepare for the upcoming elections. Olowo, who previously served as a member of the Lagos State House of Assembly, brings a wealth of experience and local connections to the race.
In a statement, Olowo emphasized his commitment to serving the community, saying, "I am determined to bring positive change and ensure that the voices of Shomolu residents are heard in the National Assembly." His previous tenure was marked by efforts to improve infrastructure and social services, which he hopes to build upon if elected.
As the political landscape intensifies, Olowo’s candidacy signals a potential shift in voter sentiment, particularly among young and urban constituents who seek representation that addresses their needs. With the APC facing challenges from emerging parties, Olowo's campaign will likely focus on both continuity and innovation to secure support in the upcoming election.
