APC Intensifies Zoning Talks for 2027 Lagos Governorship

The All Progressives Congress (APC) is actively engaging in discussions about the zoning of its governorship ticket for the 2027 Lagos elections. Key figures mentioned in these talks include former Lagos State Governor Akinwunmi Ambode, Senator Adetokunbo Abiru, and former House Speaker Femi Gbajabiamila.

The consultations are reportedly ongoing, with no official decisions made yet. Political observers speculate that the party may favor zoning the governorship ticket to the Lagos East Senatorial District, prompting significant lobbying among prominent political figures.

Additionally, discussions are emerging regarding the deputy governorship position, with potential candidates such as Jumok Oduwol and Ramota Hassan being considered. The dynamics within the APC are influenced by factors such as religious balance and representation of Lagos indigenes in leadership roles.

The party's strategy appears to be focused on achieving a balanced formula across the three senatorial districts of Lagos, which may lead to intensified lobbying efforts in the coming months.
