Background of the Study
Political ideology, the set of beliefs and values that shape political behavior, plays a crucial role in influencing grassroots mobilization. In Abule Egba Local Government Area, Lagos State, divergent political ideologies have spurred various forms of civic engagement and activism (Adewale, 2023). Grassroots mobilization in this context is characterized by community-based initiatives that seek to address local issues through collective action. Political ideologies provide the framework for understanding these issues and for rallying support around specific policy agendas (Folarin, 2024). However, ideological polarization can also lead to fragmented movements and conflict within communities, thereby impacting the effectiveness of mobilization efforts (Oluwatobi, 2025). This study explores how different political ideologies influence the organization, strategies, and outcomes of grassroots mobilization in Abule Egba. By examining community mobilization activities, public discourse, and electoral participation, the research seeks to uncover the extent to which ideological factors drive or hinder collective action at the local level. The findings are expected to contribute to a deeper understanding of the role of ideology in shaping civic engagement and local political dynamics.
Statement of the Problem
Despite the recognized influence of political ideology on civic engagement, Abule Egba Local Government Area experiences significant challenges in sustaining unified grassroots mobilization. Ideological differences among community members often lead to internal divisions, reducing the overall impact of mobilization efforts (Adewale, 2023). The resulting fragmentation undermines collective action and limits the ability of communities to effectively advocate for their interests (Folarin, 2024). This study aims to examine how conflicting political ideologies within Abule Egba affect grassroots mobilization, with a focus on understanding the barriers to cohesive collective action and the implications for local political participation (Oluwatobi, 2025).
