Lagos State Governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu, has called on members of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Lagos State to remain united and resolute as preparations begin in earnest for the 2027 general elections.
Speaking at a recent stakeholders’ meeting, the Governor acknowledged that the outcome of the 2023 presidential election in Lagos State remains a source of deep reflection for the party. He noted that while the party has made significant strides over the years, the unexpected result in the state serves as a wake-up call and an opportunity for strategic reassessment.
Governor Sanwo-Olu emphasized that the experience has strengthened the resolve of the Lagos APC to reconnect with grassroots supporters, reinforce party structures, and address the concerns of residents more effectively. According to him, the party is committed to learning from the past while charting a more inclusive and people-oriented path forward.
“The 2023 outcome has given us cause to reflect and re-strategize. It is a moment for renewed engagement and unity as we work towards a stronger showing in 2027,” the Governor stated.
He further urged party members and leaders across all levels to intensify mobilization efforts, promote internal cohesion, and uphold the values that have sustained the APC’s dominance in Lagos over the years.
The Governor also reaffirmed the state government’s commitment to delivering impactful governance, noting that sustained development and improved welfare for residents remain key to rebuilding trust and strengthening public confidence.
Political observers believe that the renewed push by the Lagos APC signals an early start to strategic planning ahead of the next election cycle, with emphasis on grassroots engagement and performance-driven governance.
As the countdown to 2027 begins, the Lagos APC appears poised to turn lessons from the past into a foundation for future success.
