Lagos APC Restructures Ahead of 2027 Elections
The Lagos APC has recently transformed its political landscape, resulting in the loss of 14 members from the Lagos State House of Assembly, including prominent figures such as Chief Whip Noheem Adams, Deputy Chief Whip Fatai Moje, and actor-turned-lawmaker Desmond Elliot. This upheaval stems from a failed attempt to unseat Speaker Mudashiru Obasa in 2025, which created fractures within the party.
The current political strategy appears to favor younger politicians, as Deputy Governor Obafemi Hamzat positions himself for the 2027 governorship race. The changes reflect a systematic approach by party leadership to remodel the structure, emphasizing loyalty and potentially sidelining older power brokers.
The outcome of these developments indicates a significant shift in the Lagos APC's strategy, aiming to ensure survival and transformation within the party.
