The Lagos State Chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC) has reaffirmed its unwavering commitment to renewal, accountability, and sustainable political dominance – values that have kept the party firmly ahead as the undisputed model of organized and visionary governance in Nigeria’s democratic space.
At the recently held Lagos State APC Stakeholders’ Forum, party leaders, elected representatives, and members across all levels once again demonstrated that the APC is not merely a political party, but a living institution of governance, discipline, and progressive continuity.
A Tradition of Renewal, a Culture of Results
Convened under the leadership of the State Chairman, Hon. Cornelius Ojelabi, the Stakeholders’ Forum underscored the Lagos APC’s time-tested philosophy of continuous reinvention – refining its strategies, strengthening its structures, and deepening its internal democracy to remain responsive to the yearnings of the people.
The Lagos APC’s success story is anchored on its ability to evolve with the times, stay politically relevant, and anticipate the challenges of tomorrow while delivering the dividends of democracy today.
The Forum provided yet another opportunity to review achievements, identify emerging trends, and reinforce the party’s vision for sustainable governance and development.
Accountability as a Party Obligation, Not a Political Option
A key highlight of the Forum was the demand for accountability and stewardship from all elected and appointed representatives at the local, state, and federal levels, across both the legislative and executive arms of government.
Party leaders emphasized that political power, in the progressive tradition of the APC, is a sacred trust from the people – and every office holder must periodically render an account of performance.
In this regard, the Lagos APC reaffirmed its role as the conscience and internal check of government, ensuring that officials remain faithful to the social contract with the electorate.
Unlike other political platforms that go into hibernation after elections, the APC in Lagos operates year-round – monitoring governance outcomes, assessing impact, and maintaining a robust feedback channel between the government and the governed.
The Tinubu Legacy: Governance as Continuity and Commitment
The Lagos APC remains proud of its foundational role as the cradle of the Tinubu School of Politics – one rooted in strategic planning, continuity, and competence.
From Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s era as governor to Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu’s administration, Lagos has maintained a seamless model of visionary governance and policy continuity that is now being replicated nationwide through the Renewed Hope Agenda of President Tinubu.
This enduring legacy of progressive politics – built on ideas, inclusion, and innovation – remains the strongest pillar of the APC’s electoral success and public trust.
Reinvention, Relevance, and the Opposition’s Decline
It is imperative to note that while the APC continues to organize, reinvent, stay up to date with political realities, and prepare for the challenges ahead, the opposition continues to disintegrate and grapple for relevance.
Their lack of structure, discipline, and ideological focus has made them a political footnote rather than a force. The difference between the APC and the opposition has never been clearer: one is building, the other is bickering.
At this pace, there will be no prize for successfully predicting the opposition’s imminent failure at the polls ahead. Nigerians have moved on – from political noise to purposeful governance – and Lagos remains the shining example of that transformation.
Sustainability Through Structure and Strategy
The Lagos APC prides itself on institutional sustainability. Through structured leadership grooming, mentorship, and inclusiveness, the party ensures a steady supply of competent and credible leaders across generations.
Stakeholders at the forum agreed that ideological consistency, unity of purpose, and strong internal organization will continue to guarantee the APC’s dominance and performance at all levels of governance.
A Message of Confidence and Continuity
The Lagos APC calls on all members to remain steadfast and united. The strength of the party lies not in slogans, but in structures; not in propaganda, but in performance.
As always, while the opposition wallows in crisis and confusion, the APC in Lagos continues to lead, deliver, and reinvent itself – for success, accountability, and sustainability.
