APC Warns Against Return to Past Failures as 2027 Elections Approach
The Lagos State chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC) has emphatically declared that Nigeria has irreversibly moved beyond what it termed the years of the locusts, issuing a stern warning to voters against reverting to past leadership failures as the 2027 general elections draw near. In a strongly worded statement released by the party's Publicity Secretary, Seye Oladejo, the APC criticized opposition figures who are now coalescing under the African Democratic Congress (ADC), accusing them of attempting to repackage themselves as reformers despite having held power for extended periods in the past.
Internal Calls for Term Limits and Grassroots Mobilization
In a related development, former House of Representatives member Lanre Odubote, who served under the APC platform, has publicly urged the incumbent lawmaker representing Epe Federal Constituency, Wale Raji, to step down after completing three consecutive terms in office. This call highlights growing internal debates within the party regarding term limits and political renewal.
Simultaneously, the campaign organization of Lagos State governorship aspirant Dr. Abdul-Azeez Olajide Adediran, widely known as Jandor, has established a massive 2,690-member committee aimed at bolstering grassroots mobilization ahead of the APC's direct governorship primaries in the state. According to a statement issued by Gbenga Ogunleye, Spokesperson for the Jagaban-Jandor 2027 Campaign Organisation, this committee is strategically structured to align with Lagos State's political framework, with members carefully selected from:
- All 245 political wards across the state
- Each of the 20 local government councils
- The state-level administrative and political structures
This move underscores the intense preparations and factional dynamics within the APC as it gears up for the critical 2027 electoral cycle, emphasizing both defensive rhetoric against opposition forces and proactive internal restructuring to secure voter support.
