The All Progressives Congress (APC) in Lagos State has expressed its full support for President Bola Tinubu following his recent signature on the Electoral Act 2026 Amendment. In a statement, Seye Oladejo, the Public Relations Officer for the Lagos APC, dismissed the criticisms from opposition parties as mere 'noisemakers' who are reacting out of sentiment rather than thoughtful consideration. This backing comes as the APC emphasizes the importance of substantive governance over popularity and emotion.

The APC argued that the decision made by President Tinubu was undertaken following proper constitutional processes and necessary legislative debates. The party critiqued the opposition's reactions as exaggerated and described them as 'orchestrated hysteria.' This perspective underscores the ruling party's view that governance requires serious engagement with public affairs rather than an appeal to public sentiment, framing the discussion around governance as a constitutional obligation meant to serve the needs of Nigerian citizens.

Furthermore, the Lagos APC warned against attempts to manipulate public opinion and stressed that democracy should be grounded in credibility rather than sensationalism. By asserting that electoral integrity is crucial, the APC reinforces its commitment to stable governance and is likely attempting to consolidate support ahead of future electoral contests, positioning itself as a defender of constitutional duty in the face of opposition critique.
