The All Progressives Congress (APC), Lagos State chapter, has declared its readiness to mobilise voters across the state ahead of the party’s 2027 presidential campaign, in a bid to ensure President Bola Tinubu’s reelection.
Lagos APC Chairman, Pastor Cornelius Ojelabi, on Wednesday, August 19, boasted about the party structures across the state, saying it is ready to take the message of the Renewed Hope Agenda to every ward, community and polling unit in the state.
According to him, the party would intensify efforts to consolidate its gains, strengthen support for the Renewed Hope mandate and secure victory for Tinubu in the 2027 presidential election.
Ojelabi stressed that the party would continue to engage communities and mobilise its supporters as the 2027 election draws closer.
“As the APC commenced the 2027 presidential election campaign, Lagos stands ready and well equipped for the task of providing the necessary grassroots mobilisation and electoral strength for the victory of the party in the elections,” he said.
Ojelabi said the party had sustained ward-level meetings and stakeholder engagements across the state’s 20 Local Government Areas and 37 Local Council Development Areas.
He added that women’s organisations, youth groups, market associations, community leaders, artisans and other critical stakeholders had also been actively engaged to ensure broad-based participation.
The party chairman said Lagos residents would readily identify with the APC because of what he described as visible projects delivered by the state government.
“In Lagos, the party will have no problem moving along with the people as the evidence of development is visible and measurable.
“From the operational Lagos Blue Line and Red Line rail projects to continued road construction and rehabilitation, urban renewal, human capital development and other people-friendly programmes, the state has continued to witness significant investment and visible progress,” he said.
Ojelabi also commended the reforms and investments undertaken by the Tinubu administration at the federal level, NEWSNGR reports.
“President Bola Tinubu’s Renewed Hope administration has pursued bold economic reforms aimed at repositioning Nigeria’s economy and addressing long-standing structural challenges,” he said.
He listed the removal of fuel subsidy, foreign exchange reforms and fiscal restructuring, alongside investments in infrastructure, transportation, education, healthcare, agriculture and social development.
Other developments highlighted by the Lagos APC chairman include road projects, including the 1,068km Superhighway, 750km Lagos-Calabar Coastal Road, 114.5km Ibadan-Ijebu-Ode Road, 465km Calabar-Abuja Superhighway, 700km Akwanga-Jos-Bauchi-Gombe-Biu-Maiduguri Superhighway and the 275km Sokoto-Gusau-Funtua-Zaria Road.
He noted that the Federal Government is also pursuing policies aimed at attracting investment, strengthening Nigeria’s global economic standing and creating an enabling environment for businesses to grow and create jobs.
“For Lagos APC, the task is straightforward: take the message to the people. Every ward, every Local Government Area, every community and every polling unit will be engaged.
“The party will communicate the record, explain the policies and highlight the impact of APC-led governance at both state and federal levels.
“The objective is not merely to campaign, but to connect governance with the people and translate political organisation into electoral strength,” Ojelabi said.
“With a strong grassroots structure, experienced leadership and a clear record of governance achievements, Lagos APC is fully prepared for the task ahead.
“The structure is standing, the campaign has begun, the mobilisation has begun, the engagement has begun. The journey to victory has begun,” the party chieftain added.
