The All Progressives Congress (APC) in Lagos State has stated that the South-West region will not desert President Bola Tinubu in the 2027 general elections.
The APC’s spokesperson, Mr Seye Oladejo, made this known in a statement issued on Saturday in Lagos, responding to remarks allegedly made by supporters of a Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) presidential hopeful, Dr Gbenga Olawepo-Hashim, suggesting that the South-West would not support Tinubu's re-election bid in 2027.
Oladejo asserted that Olawepo-Hashim had never built a lasting political structure or displayed the electoral strength necessary to succeed in a national election.
According to him, Tinubu will decisively defeat anyone who attempts to oppose his re-election campaign in 2027.
Oladejo said, “Olawepo-Hashim is a perennial aspirant and convenient mascot for opposition desperation.
“He (Olawepo-Hashim) may parade endorsements in tiny rallies and press statements, but endorsements on photocopied letterheads do not translate to votes.
“In the unlikely event that he somehow emerges as the presidential candidate of the free-falling PDP – a party apparently bankrupt of depth in both human and material resources – he will be roundly beaten at the poll.
“That is not bravado; it is political arithmetic. The PDP’s hollow theatrics and recycled claimants will not rescue a party that has for years relied on sentiment and nostalgia rather than competence and delivery.”
He added that Olawepo-Hashim’s effort to ridicule the achievements of Tinubu’s administration was “particularly distasteful and unacceptable”.
According to him, Tinubu’s government is laying down clear and lasting foundations in infrastructure, education, agriculture, security, and fiscal reforms.
“Those who traffic in selective statistics and currency rhetoric do so because they cannot defend the alternative: a return to the waste, arrogance, and economic mismanagement that nearly extinguished our nation’s potential.
“Nigerians will not be hoodwinked into trading present progress for recycled excuses.
“To the political jobbers behind this noise: stop insulting the intelligence of Lagos residents and Nigerians,” he said.
He added that the opposition should not confuse issuing press statements with having the ability to govern effectively.
“In 2027, voters will choose continuity with a president who has delivered direction and results – not the empty spectacle offered by political tourists.
“The South West will not abandon its own for a project of theatrical ambition without substance,” he added.
