The Lagos State chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC) has declared its readiness for the 2027 presidential election campaign, stating that it has strengthened its grassroots structures across the state to mobilise support for President Bola Ahmed Tinubu.
The party announced this on Thursday in a statement signed by Ayaba Omobola Nowoola-Akingbehin, Senior Special Assistant on Media and Publicity to the Lagos State APC Chairman, Hon. Cornelius Ojelabi.
According to the statement, the party has commenced preparations to ensure that its structures across the state are fully activated ahead of the election.
It noted that the party’s grassroots mobilisation has been reinforced through ward meetings, stakeholder engagements, and consultations across the 20 Local Government Areas and 37 Local Council Development Areas of Lagos State.
The statement also highlighted that women’s groups, youths, market associations, community leaders, artisans, and other stakeholders have been engaged as part of efforts to deepen the party’s connection with residents.
“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 statement read in part.
The party affirmed that its campaign will focus on delivering the APC’s message directly to residents at the ward, community, and polling-unit levels.
“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,” it stated.
The Lagos APC also highlighted several infrastructure projects completed or underway by the state government, including the operational Blue Line and Red Line rail systems, extensive road construction and rehabilitation, urban renewal initiatives, and human capital development.
According to the party, these projects will serve as the foundation of its campaign message in Lagos, showcasing the achievements of APC-led governance.
At the federal level, the party defended the policies of the Tinubu administration, citing the removal of the fuel subsidy, foreign exchange reforms, and fiscal restructuring as critical measures aimed at repositioning the national economy.
It also pointed to major infrastructure initiatives, including the Lagos–Calabar Coastal Highway, the Lagos–Ibadan–Ijebu-Ode corridor, and several proposed or ongoing superhighway projects across the country.
The APC stated that these projects are designed to improve connectivity, stimulate economic activity, and drive development across Nigeria’s six geopolitical zones.
It added that the administration remains focused on attracting foreign investment, creating jobs, and expanding access to quality education, healthcare, and social services.
The statement framed the 2027 election as an opportunity for the APC to present its governance record to Nigerians and make a compelling case for continuity.
“The objective is not merely to campaign, but to connect governance with the people and translate political organisation into electoral strength,” the party noted.
The Lagos APC expressed confidence that its grassroots network and mobilisation machinery will help secure victory for President Tinubu in the 2027 presidential election.
Concluding the statement, the party declared, “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.”
