In a remarkable display of faith, compassion, and visionary leadership, Dr. Samuel Mawuyon Ajose, the All Progressives Congress (APC) Governorship candidate for the 2027 Lagos State election, graced the solemn Good Friday Service at the National Headquarters of the our Church at Makoko, Lagos State.
The spiritually significant gathering, which commemorates the sacrificial death of Jesus Christ for the redemption of mankind, witnessed a large turnout of worshippers who converged in reverence, prayer, and reflection. Dr. Ajose’s presence at the service underscored his deep-rooted commitment to faith, humility, and service to humanity—values that resonate strongly with the teachings of Christ.
Beyond his participation in the sacred observance, Dr. Ajose demonstrated practical compassion through a well-coordinated foundation outreach that brought relief and hope to many in attendance. The outreach initiative featured the distribution of essential relief materials, financial support, and medical supplies to worshippers and members of the Makoko community. This humanitarian gesture not only alleviated immediate needs but also reaffirmed his dedication to uplifting the vulnerable and underserved across Lagos State.
The atmosphere was one of gratitude and joy, as beneficiaries expressed heartfelt appreciation for the timely intervention. For many, the outreach symbolized a bridge between faith and action, an embodiment of the scriptural injunction in James 2:17, “Faith by itself, if it is not accompanied by action, is dead.”
In the course of his visit, Dr. Ajose acknowledged and greeted the spiritual leader of the Church, Pastor Rev. EMF Oshoffa, alongside Most Superior Evangelist (MSE) Banjo Nunayon. The meeting provided a platform for meaningful dialogue on the future of Lagos State, with Dr. Ajose sharing his transformative vision and developmental agenda ahead of the 2027 general elections.

Dr. Ajose emphasized the importance of moral leadership, transparency, and people-centered governance, noting that spiritual guidance remains crucial in shaping a prosperous and harmonious society.
The engagement with respected church leaders also reflected his recognition of the vital role of faith-based institutions in societal development, peacebuilding, and moral reorientation.
Dr. Ajose’s visit to Makoko on such a sacred day carries both symbolic and practical significance. It highlights a leader who not only identifies with the spiritual pulse of the people but also takes decisive steps to impact lives positively. His actions echo the words of Matthew 25:40, “Whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me.”
As Lagos State looks ahead to the 2027 elections, moments like these continue to shape public perception and deepen engagement between leadership and the people. Dr. Samuel Mawuyon Ajose’s blend of faith, service, and forward-thinking governance presents a narrative of hope, unity, and purposeful leadership for the future of the state.
