The All Progressives Congress, Lagos State chapter, has dismissed Mr. Dino Melaye’s recent assertion that the African Democratic Congress will field a candidate capable of defeating President Bola Ahmed Tinubu in the 2027 general election as laughable and delusional.
The claim, originating from a politician whose recent election performance has been markedly poor, highlights the growing chasm between the ADC’s ambitions and its practical political situation. Given Mr. Melaye’s substantial failures in his own state and his platform-hopping, his insights into national leadership and electoral triumphs are questionable.
The Lagos APC Spokesperson, Mogaji Hon Seye Oladejo, reacting to Melaye’s claim, emphasized, ‘Let it be made abundantly clear: the ADC lacks the structure, national spread, and voter confidence to mount any serious challenge, let alone unseat a performing president.’
“President Tinubu has, in just over two years, laid the foundation for a transformed Nigeria through decisive economic reforms, inclusive governance, and nationwide infrastructural development. His leadership has restored international confidence in Nigeria and rekindled hope among the citizenry — a far cry from the empty rhetoric of the opposition” Oladejo affirmed.
“The APC is a tested national movement with roots in every ward, local government, and state. In contrast, the ADC — a party with no visible impact in any geopolitical zone — cannot be taken seriously when it comes to national leadership”.
“We urge Nigerians to ignore Melaye’s outbursts and remain focused on the steady progress being achieved under the Renewed Hope Agenda. 2027 will be determined by performance, not noise. President Tinubu is delivering results, and that will speak louder than empty campaign slogans or media theatrics”.
“The Lagos APC remains fully committed to supporting the President and ensuring that the will of the Nigerian people continues to be respected and upheld”.
