The Lagos State chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC) has expressed appreciation to voters in Rivers and Kano States, the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), and Nigerians nationwide for their support in the just concluded by-elections.
In a statement issued on Sunday by its spokesman, Mogaji (Hon.) Seye Oladejo, the party described the results as a strong endorsement of the leadership of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu and the progressive policies guiding governance at the federal and state levels.
According to the Lagos APC, the victories recorded by its candidates across the affected constituencies reaffirm public confidence in the Renewed Hope Agenda and ongoing reforms aimed at economic revitalisation, infrastructural development and institutional strengthening.
The party maintained that the electorate’s verdict demonstrates trust in what it termed “bold and courageous leadership,” adding that the outcome counters narratives by opposition elements seeking to undermine the administration’s direction.
The statement further argued that the results illustrate the distinction between online political activism and electoral performance, noting that democratic outcomes are ultimately determined at the ballot box rather than on digital platforms.
Looking ahead to the 2027 general elections, the Lagos APC said the by-election performance reflects growing momentum and confidence in the ruling party’s stewardship, while emphasising that the victories represent a renewed responsibility to deliver tangible dividends of democracy.
The chapter commended the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) for conducting the elections and praised security agencies for maintaining order and ensuring a peaceful voting process.
It also acknowledged the contributions of party members, campaign teams and volunteers whose grassroots mobilisation efforts contributed to the outcome.
Reaffirming its support for President Tinubu, the Lagos APC called on Nigerians across party lines to collaborate in efforts to build a stronger and more united nation.
