The Lagos State chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC) has pledged to at least double the votes secured by President Bola Ahmed Tinubu in the 2023 presidential election during the 2027 general elections.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The party also emphasised the need to reciprocate the support given by Tinubu, whom it credited with creating political platforms for members across the board to thrive, as well as driving monumental development through the creation of additional council areas in the state.<\/p>\n

The State Chairman of the party, Pastor Cornelius Ojelabi, gave the assurance during the swearing-in ceremony of the newly elected state executives held at the party secretariat in Acme, Ogba, Lagos.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Ojelabi said the executives were assuming office at a critical time as the party prepares for the 2027 general elections and the emergence of its candidates.<\/p>\n

According to him, all eyes are on the new leadership, and the key question is whether they will strengthen the party\u2019s achievements and sustain its dominance since 1999.<\/p>\n

He called for unity of purpose among party leaders, urging them to set aside factional interests and work collectively for the overall success of the party at the polls.<\/p>\n

The APC chairman also advised members of the executive council to regularly attend ward and local government meetings, stressing that the party must operate as one family in order to secure victory in 2027.<\/p>\n

Ojelabi further assured that Lagos State Governor, Babajide Olusola Sanwo-Olu, would provide an enabling environment to boost the party\u2019s performance in the forthcoming elections.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, 37 executive members of the party were endorsed during the recently conducted State Congress held at the Mobolaji Johnson Arena in Onikan, Lagos.<\/p>\n
