APC vowed to stand tall in 2027 despite the convergence of the opposition

All Progressives Congress (APC) in the state of Lagos swore on Tuesday to stand tall in the 2027 general election, despite the efforts by the opposition parties to discredit their progressive reforms.

APC Publicity Secretary in the state, Mr. Seye Oladejo, stated this in a statement in Ikeja.

He said: “Our attention has been focused on a press release that is politically charged and deliberately misleading entitled:” There is no Patriotic Nigeria who will choose APC in 2027 “from the PDP opposition that is connected, cut off, and Moribund.

“While such rhetoric can be headlines, it has no substance and objectivity.

“APC firmly rejects this effort to smear our party and wrongly describe millions of Nigeria Patriotic people who support us.

“When 2027 approached, we were sure that the Nigerians would judge all parties not by propaganda or emotional explosions, but with track records, objectives, and capacity to lead.

“On all this, APC will stand tall.”

He added that patriotism was not determined by the party line, but by an unwavering commitment to national growth, peace, unity, and democratic values.

“Over the years, APC has consistently showing these principles through reforms in infrastructure, digital economy, social investment, agricultural revitalization and achievements that cannot be denied by most vocal criticism.

“Affirming that no Patriotic Nigeria will choose APC in 2027 not only presumptuous, but also very insulting the intelligence of voters.

“Nigeria is smart, and they understand that governance is a complex and developing task, which requires patience, vision, and ability to adapt.

“APC continues to provide responsive leadership to the challenges faced by our country, and reforms are ongoing to further stabilize the economy, curb insecure, and create inclusive growth,” the spokesman added.

He said the party welcomed constructive criticism and strong involvement.
