The All Progressives Congress, Lagos State chapter said its overwhelming victory in Saturday’s by-elections across 16 Federal and State constituencies has re-energised, refocused, and made it ready for the 2027 elections.
“With APC dominance reaffirmed, the stage is set for a grand 2027 showdown,” APC spokesman in Lagos, Mr Seye Oladejo, said in a statement on Sunday.
He added that the victory in the by-election was a resounding message of the party’s dominance and as a reference point for President Bola Tinubu’s administration.
According to him, APC remains the party of choice for Nigerians as the 2027 general elections approach.
Oladejo said the APC’s victory in 12 of the 16 contested seats consolidated its dominance and reaffirmed voters’ confidence in Tinubu’s leadership and the party’s renewed direction.
He noted that the elections were the first outing since Prof Nentawe Yilwatda assumed the APC chairmanship, describing the success as “nothing short of a landmark.”
Oladejo attributed the victory to performance, adding that from North to South, Nigerians had spoken clearly through the ballot box.
He said APC’s wins, including the Edo Central Senatorial Seat, House seats in Kaduna, Jigawa, Ogun, and Edo, and Assembly seats across several states, reflected appreciation for Tinubu’s governance.
“In an atmosphere charged with opposition propaganda and economic challenges, the APC stood tall and unshaken,” he said.
He explained that rather than bow under pressure, the government prioritised economic stabilisation, tackling insecurity, strengthening infrastructure, and bold fiscal reforms.
“These by-election results are a direct endorsement of that focus,” Oladejo said.
According to him, although critics have questioned Tinubu’s popularity, the outcome of these by-elections served as a form of referendum.
He said the results showed people’s confidence in Tinubu’s leadership, policies, and long-term vision for a more prosperous Nigeria.
“The electorate, particularly in Kaduna, Adamawa, Taraba, and Edo, rewarded the party for progress under the Renewed Hope Agenda,” he said.
