APC Leaders Confident in Defeating Peter Obi in 2027

Chieftains of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Lagos State have expressed confidence in their ability to defeat Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC) Presidential candidate Peter Obi and other opposition candidates in the 2027 presidential election. They stated that the party has addressed the mistakes that contributed to President Bola Tinubu's defeat in Lagos during the 2023 election.

This declaration was made during a political gathering organized by Dr Mujidat Folasade Tinubu-Ojo, President Tinubu's daughter. Barrister Adejumbo Omofumilewa, the Lagos State Director-General of the Iyaloja General Movement (IGM), described the event as a mini-rally supporting Tinubu's re-election bid ahead of the January 16, 2027 election.

Omofumilewa attributed the 2023 election outcome to the party's failure to properly assess the political landscape in Lagos, labeling it a betrayal. He asserted that Obi and other opposition candidates do not pose a serious threat to the APC in Lagos State, emphasizing their control over the political situation.
