The Lagos State Chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC) has advised the 2023 Labour Party (LP) presidential candidate, Peter Obi, to reconsider his 2027 presidential ambition following his party’s poor performance in the recent Anambra governorship election.
In a statement issued on Sunday in Lagos, APC spokesperson Seye Oladejo said the outcome of the election reflected a sharp decline in the Labour Party’s grassroots support and in Obi’s “Obidient Movement.”
“The result, especially in Obi’s polling unit, showed that LP’s structure in his base was crumbling. Social media popularity cannot replace consistent political organisation and voter engagement,” Oladejo said.
He commended President Bola Tinubu’s focus on governance and reforms, noting that APC’s performance in Anambra demonstrated growing public confidence in the party’s leadership.
“Good governance and delivery remain the strongest tools for political success,” he added.
Oladejo also praised the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) and security agencies for ensuring a peaceful and transparent process, stressing that “electoral victories are earned through planning and performance.”
He urged political leaders to learn from the Anambra election, strengthen grassroots engagement, and prioritise issue-based politics.
“The APC remains committed to service, development, and national unity. Performance and structure will continue to define electoral outcomes in Nigeria,” Oladejo said.
He congratulated APC members and supporters in Anambra for their resilience and reaffirmed the Lagos APC’s commitment to promoting good governance and inclusion across all levels.
