JOURNEY TO 2027: LAGOS APC READY FOR PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION CAMPAIGN
As the All Progressives Congress (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.
The State chapter of the party has energized its structures and mobilized its members in readiness for the election which President Bola Ahmed Tinubu is contesting alongside the candidates of the opposition parties. It has continued to consolidate its structures and deepened grassroots engagement across the state.
Under the able leadership of Hon. Cornelius Ojelabi, the party has sustained ward-level meetings and stakeholder engagements across its 20 Local Government and 37 Local Council Development Areas. Women organizations, youth groups, market associations, community leaders, artisans and other critical stakeholders have also been actively engaged and continually patronized to give them a sense of belonging.
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 Rail Line to the Red Rail Line to the continued road construction and rehabilitation, urban renewal, human capital development and other people-friendly programs, the state has continued to witness significant investment and visible progress.
At the federal level, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s Renewed Hope administration has pursued bold economic reforms aimed at repositioning Nigeria’s economy and addressing long-standing structural challenges.
The removal of fuel subsidy, foreign exchange reforms, and broader fiscal restructuring have been complemented by large-scale investments in infrastructure, transportation, education, healthcare, agriculture, and social development. The government’s infrastructure drive across six geopolitical zones is a strategy for strengthening national integration and economic connectivity.
The 1,068 km Superhighway; 750 km Lagos-Calabar Coastal Road; 114.5 km Ibadan-Ijebu-Ode Road; 465 km Calabar-Abuja Superhighway; 700 km Akwanga–Jos–Bauchi–Gombe–Biu–Maiduguri Superhighway; and Sokoto–Gusau–Funtua–Zaria Road (275 km) are some of the roads that are linking regions and spreading development across the country.
Beyond infrastructure, the administration continues to pursue policies aimed at attracting investment, strengthening Nigeria’s global economic standing, and creating an enabling environment for businesses to grow, expand, and create jobs.
These efforts form part of the broader Renewed Hope Agenda, focused on economic reform, infrastructure expansion, human capital development, and national renewal.
The 2027 presidential election campaign therefore provides an opportunity to present these achievements to Nigerians and make a clear case for continuity.
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.
With continuity in 2027, Nigerians can expect:
• Consolidation of ongoing infrastructure projects across all regions
• Expansion of rail, road, and transport connectivity nationwide
• Strengthening of economic reforms for long-term stability
• Increased investment inflows and job creation opportunities
• Improved access to social services including education and healthcare
• Greater integration of regional economies through strategic corridors
The commencement of the presidential campaign is, therefore, more than the opening of another election cycle. It marks the beginning of an intensified mobilisation to consolidate the gains of the APC, strengthen the Renewed Hope mandate, and secure victory in 2027.
With a strong grassroots structure, experienced leadership, and a clear record of governance achievements, Lagos APC is fully prepared for the task ahead.
From Lagos, we are ready.
The foundation is firm.
The structure is standing.
The campaign has begun.
The mobilisation has begun.
The engagement has begun.
THE JOURNEY TO VICTORY HAS BEGUN.
LAGOS APC IS READY!
