The All Progressives Congress (APC) held a mega rally in the Kosofe area of Lagos state to showcase its candidates for the forthcoming 2025 Local Government Election.

A viral video captured Yoruba movie stars like Foluke Daramola, Sola Kosoko, among others, at the event.

The clip also captured Foluke encouraging people to move out to vote.

Meanwhile, the Lagos State Independent Electoral Commission (LASIEC) has scheduled the state council election for July 12.

Tope Ojo, LASIEC’s head of public affairs, said the election for 57 council chairmanship positions and 376 councillor seats will take place on July 12.

In related news, Legit.ng reported that Lalude expressed regret for supporting the APC, describing it as a cruel betrayal following his role in the 2023 general elections.

Lalude singled out MC Oluomo, NURTW president, accusing him of mobilising Nollywood stars and making grand promises that were never fulfilled.

According to Lalude, both he and fellow Nollywood veteran Alapini were present when MC Oluomo allegedly asked them to name whatever they wanted as a reward for their support.
