APC Lagos Forms 1,235-Member Council for 2027 Elections

The Lagos State chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC) inaugurated a 1,235-member campaign council for the upcoming 2027 general elections. The inauguration took place at the APC state secretariat in Ikeja, where party members were directed to remain in Nigeria until after the elections.

Dr. Kadiri Obafemi Hamzat, the party’s governorship candidate, emphasized the importance of campaigning on the achievements of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s administration and the APC-led government in Lagos. He set a target of securing at least 3.5 million votes from the 7.5 million registered voters in Lagos.

Hamzat urged members to communicate the administration’s successes and to work collaboratively for the election of candidates across various legislative positions. Hon. Cornelius Ojelabi, the APC Lagos State chairman, highlighted the campaign council's structure, which includes 20 directorates and various party leaders, and stressed the need for discipline and effective coordination in campaign activities.
