... Party Says Ex-Members Lost Primaries, Defected to Another Platform Ganiyu  Egunjobi                           Azeez Yusuf  The Lagos State chapter of the All Progressives Congress, APC, has expelled Chief Ganiyu Kolawole Egunjobi and Mr. Azeez Yusuf over what the party described as anti-party activities, disloyalty and conduct inimical to its discipline and integrity. The party announced the expulsion in a statement signed by its State Chairman, Pastor Cornelius Ojelabi, dated September 23, 2026. According to the Lagos APC, Egunjobi and Yusuf contested the party’s primary elections for Agege Constituency I and Agege Constituency II respectively during the 2026 Lagos State House of Assembly nomination process but failed to secure the party’s tickets. The party alleged that instead of accepting the outcome of its internal process or pursuing available avenues of redress, the two subsequently obtained ticke...

-

Inspector General of Police, Olatunji Disu, has unveiled a six-point security roadmap to guide police preparations and deployment for Nigeria’s 2027 general elections. Disu announced the plan on Monday at the opening of the 2026 Conference and Retreat for Senior Police Officers, CARSPO, in Owerri, Imo State. The conference, themed “Developing a Nigeria Police Roadmap for Effective Management of Election Security,” is expected to produce a practical framework for election-security training, deployment and command. The IGP said the roadmap would focus on early intelligence gathering, rigorous training, joint command with sister security agencies, rapid communication, partnership with the public and strict political neutrality. He directed the immediate mapping of electoral flashpoints and criminal networks, stressing that credible intelligence must reach police commands early enough for preventive action. Disu also ordered specialised training for officers in crowd management, protection...

LAGOS 2027 : IF IT’S NOT HAMZAT, WHO ELSE?

Why Lagos Needs Continuity, Experience and a Prepared Hand Dr. Kadri Obafemi Hamzat By Seye Oladejo, Lagos APC Spokesman There comes a time in the political evolution of a society when the most important question is not simply who wants the job, but who is prepared for the job. For Lagos in 2027, that question deserves an honest, dispassionate and intellectually rigorous examination. If it’s not Dr. Kadri Obafemi Hamzat, who else? And perhaps an even more fundamental question is this: if it isn’t broken, why the futile effort to fix it? Lagos has spent more than two decades building a distinctive development model founded on continuity, institutional memory, long-term planning and successive administrations building upon the foundations laid by their predecessors. The logical question, therefore, is whether Lagos should throw that accumulated experience overboard or consolidate it with a man who has been part of the architecture of the state’s development for over two decades. Dr. Hamz...

2027: NDC’s Obi Fantasy and the Reality of Lagos

-
Image
Seye Oladejo By Seye Oladejo, Lagos APC Spokesman The National Democratic Congress (NDC) and its political gladiators are entitled to their optimism, but their latest proclamation that Peter Obi will defeat President Bola Ahmed Tinubu in Lagos by a wider margin in 2027 sounds less like political strategy and more like wishful thinking dressed up as certainty. The NDC’s National Publicity Secretary, Osa Director, has reportedly challenged the APC to “take that to the bank,” insisting that Obi’s 2023 victory in Lagos was a political reality and that he would win by a wider margin in 2027. My response is simple: The NDC gladiators should wake up. 2027 is not 2023. Peter Obi’s 2023 performance in Lagos was a legitimate electoral outcome. INEC’s figures show that he polled 582,454 votes against Bola Tinubu’s 572,606-a difference of 9,848 votes. Obi won nine of Lagos’ 20 local government areas, while Tinubu won 11. Nobody is disputing the figures. But what the NDC must stop doing is converti...

... Promises Tax Cuts, Free Education, Senior Citizens’ Transport In Lagos Engr. Adedeji Doherty The Lagos State governorship candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party, Engr. Adedeji Doherty, has urged governors involved in the political dispute surrounding Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike, to “step back” and put the national interest ahead of political calculations. Doherty spoke with journalists at the Murtala Muhammed International Airport, Lagos, on his return from an overseas trip. He said the ongoing disagreements over Wike and emerging political realignments ahead of the 2027 elections should not overshadow what he described as the larger interests of Nigeria. According to him, there should be room for dialogue, accommodation and political cooperation among leaders and parties, including the possibility of cooperation between the All Progressives Congress and the PDP. Doherty, who is also the PDP South-West National Vice-Chairman, said he had known Presiden...
