The former Vice-Chancellor (VC), Lagos State University (LASU), Prof. Ibiyemi Olatunji-Bello, on Thursday, mobilised grassroots support for All Progressives Congress (APC) candidates ahead of the 2027 general elections.
Olatunji-Bello, during a maiden free medical outreach at Iba Local Council Development Area (LCDA), Lagos State, urged the residents to support APC candidates in the 2027 general elections.
The VC, who is the convener, said the programme was organised by Momentous Women in Learning Associations (MOWLAS) and Momentous Men in Learning Associations (MOMLAS).

She said the medical outreach was designed to give back to the community and sensitise residents on the need to support APC candidates.
She urged residents to obtain their Permanent Voter Cards (PVCs) and participate in the 2027 general elections.
She also encouraged eligible voters to remain engaged in the electoral process and exercise their civic responsibilities.
Olatunji-Bello, a former LASU VC, is currently the Pro-Chancellor and Chairman of the Governing Council of Redeemer’s University, Ede.
She said MOWLAS and MOMLAS have existed since 2016, initially operating as movements advocating good governance in Lagos State institutions.
She explained that they later expanded their activities to tertiary institutions across the state before adopting their present names after registration with the Corporate Affairs Commission.
She said the associations had members across several tertiary institutions, including LASU, the University of Lagos, Yaba College of Technology, and others.
She said the Iba outreach was the first medical programme the associations organised during the current political period.
She said another outreach would hold in Ojokoro LCDA, adding that the associations planned similar programmes in at least five locations.
The convener said the medical services were free and included blood pressure checks, blood sugar tests, Body Mass Index assessments and medical consultations.
Olatunji-Bello added that beneficiaries would receive free medication, while those requiring further medical attention would be referred to general hospitals.
According to her, the organisers initially targeted 200 beneficiaries but stopped registration after reaching that number.
She said more than N2 million had been spent on purchasing drugs, adding that the associations would also remunerate some volunteer healthcare workers.
