By OLA MODUPE, Lagos –
All Progressives Congress (APC) in Lagos State has said it remains confident of a strong performance in the 2027 general elections, undeterred by opposition efforts to undermine its progressive initiatives.
In a statement released on Tuesday, Mr. Seye Oladejo, the Lagos State APC Publicity Secretary, expressed unwavering optimism about the party’s prospects.
“We have noted a misleading and politically motivated press release titled ‘ _No Patriotic Nigerian Will Vote for APC in 2027_ ’ from the struggling and fragmented opposition PDP,” Oladejo remarked, saying “Such claims are devoid of substance and fail to reflect reality.”
The APC firmly dismisses attempts to tarnish its reputation and misrepresent the support it enjoys from millions of Nigerians, he added.
“As we approach 2027, we trust that Nigerians will evaluate parties based on their achievements, commitment, and leadership capacity, not on divisive propaganda. On these measures, the APC stands tall,” Oladejo stated.
He emphasized that patriotism transcends party affiliation and is rooted in a dedication to national progress, unity, and democratic principles.
The APC, he noted, has consistently upheld these values through transformative policies in infrastructure, digital innovation, social programs, and agricultural development—achievements even its critics cannot overlook.
“To claim that no patriotic Nigerian will support the APC in 2027 is not only arrogant but an insult to the discernment of Nigerian voters,” Oladejo said.
“Our people recognize that governance is a dynamic process requiring vision, resilience, and adaptability.”
He highlighted the APC’s ongoing efforts to address economic challenges, enhance security, and promote inclusive growth, underscoring the party’s commitment to responsive leadership.
While welcoming constructive criticism and open dialogue, Oladejo rejected attempts to equate patriotism with political loyalty.
“The APC will not tolerate efforts to monopolize patriotism or reduce national loyalty to party allegiance,” he concluded.
