The All Progressives Congress (APC) in Lagos State is mobilizing grassroots support for President Bola Tinubu’s re-election campaign ahead of the 2027 general elections. During a stakeholders’ meeting held in Ikorodu, key party figures, including Lagos APC Chairman Cornelius Ojelabi and Lagos East Senator Tokunbo Abiru, emphasized the importance of unity among party members as they endorsed Tinubu for a second term. The leaders expressed their commitment to representing the progressive ideals that have been historically significant in Ikorodu, from the era of former Governor Jakande to the current administration.

Senator Abiru highlighted the necessity of the ongoing party registration exercise as a demonstration of Ikorodu's political strength and organizational capacity, urging members to actively participate in building support for the President. The aim is to reinforce the party's presence in the community and ensure that the progressive values associated with the APC continue to resonate with the electorate. The leadership's call for mobilization signifies an early and strategic effort to galvanize support at the grassroots level in preparation for the upcoming elections.

This meeting and the endorsement of President Tinubu reflect the APC's attempt to solidify its base in Lagos, particularly in light of the challenges leading to the elections. By rallying local support, the APC leaders hope to maintain political hegemony in the region, which has historically been a stronghold for the party. Engaging local members effectively increases the chances of re-election while potentially revitalizing party enthusiasm ahead of the 2027 elections.
