Lagos Truck Operators Endorse Deputy Speaker Meranda for another term, Back Hamzat and Tinubu for 2027
The Lagos State Truck and Cargo Operators Committee, LASTCOC, has thrown its weight behind Deputy Speaker of the Lagos State House of Assembly, Hon. Mojisola Lasbat Meranda, endorsing her for another term ahead of the 2027 General Elections.
In a statement released on Friday, 22 May 2026, the committee described Meranda as a responsible and reliable representative for Apapa Constituency 1 and Lagos State. It said her decisive victory at the All Progressives Congress primaries on Wednesday demonstrated the confidence constituents have in her leadership and performance.
“Her resounding victory at the primaries against her opponents shows the confidence the people have in her and is a testament to the good work she has done for her constituents,” LASTCOC stated.
The group said it was praying for her success in 2027 and expressed hope that she would return to the House and emerge as Speaker of the 11th Lagos State House of Assembly.
Mobilization Plan for 2027 Polls
LASTCOC, which represents truck drivers, motor boys, and other transport workers, pledged to mobilize its members to ensure Meranda’s re-election.
“As truckers, we shall mobilize our drivers, motor boys, and other members to come out en masse to support her fully in the General Elections and ensure she wins convincingly in 2027,” the statement read.
The committee also declared support for Lagos Deputy Governor Dr. Kadri Obafemi Hamzat’s gubernatorial ambition and for President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s re-election bid.
“Ultimately, we shall mobilize massively for the re-election of our father and President, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, GCFR, in 2027,” it added.
LASTCOC said its backing for the APC in the 2027 elections was total, promising a strong turnout of members to vote for the party across the state.
The statement was signed by Comrade Shola Omolola, member of LASTCOC, under the chairmanship of Alh. Lukmon Shittu, popularly known as Zangalo.
The group closed its message with the slogan, “Aluta Continua… Victoria Ascerta!”
