APC's Musiliu Obanikoro Prepares for 2027 Elections
At a press conference in Ikeja, Lagos, on October 25, 2026, Senator Musiliu Obanikoro, the Director-General of the PBAT-KOH Campaign Council, stated that the All Progressives Congress (APC) will not allow a repeat of their 2023 electoral defeat. In the 2023 election, Labour Party candidate Peter Obi defeated APC's Bola Ahmed Tinubu in Lagos, receiving 582,454 votes compared to Tinubu's 572,606 votes.
Obanikoro described this outcome as a wake-up call for the APC, which has since registered about one million members in Lagos. He projected that if 70 to 80 percent of these members vote, the party could secure up to three million votes in the upcoming election.
The APC plans to intensify grassroots mobilization and will unveil Dr Kadri Obafemi Hamzat's governorship manifesto on October 30, 2026, at the Wole Soyinka Centre for Culture and Creative Arts in Iganmu, Lagos. The manifesto will outline Hamzat's vision and plans for Lagos State.
