The Lagos State chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC) has instructed all its candidates to remain in Nigeria until after the 2027 general elections. Cornelius Ojelabi, the party's state chairman, announced the directive during the inauguration of the APC Tinubu-Hamzat Campaign Council at the party's secretariat in Ikeja.
The campaign council aims to coordinate the party's efforts to secure the re-election of President Bola Tinubu and the APC's gubernatorial candidate in Lagos, Femi Hamzat. Ojelabi urged candidates to cooperate with the council, remain involved in mobilisation efforts, and avoid traveling abroad until after the elections. He warned against underestimating the opposition and emphasized the need for unity to achieve the party's electoral goals.
The APC plans to target five million votes in Lagos State and relies on grassroots mobilisation through its structures in various districts and polling units. Ojelabi appealed for peaceful campaigning, urging party members to avoid hatred, thuggery, and violence.
