The Lagos State Chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC) wishes to express profound appreciation to the good people of Rivers and Kano States, the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), and Nigerians at large for their overwhelming support for our great Party in the just concluded by-elections.
The outcome of the by-elections across the affected constituencies stands as a clear and unmistakable referendum on the leadership of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu and the progressive ideals that continue to guide governance in our nation. The resounding victories recorded by our candidates reaffirm the confidence of the electorate in the Renewed Hope Agenda and the transformative policies being implemented at both the federal and state levels.
At a time when detractors and opposition elements have sought to misrepresent the direction of the country, the people have spoken decisively through the ballot. These results demonstrate that Nigerians recognize bold leadership, economic reforms, infrastructural expansion, and institutional strengthening when they see them. They also reflect an understanding that nation-building requires patience, courage, and continuity.
Indeed, the results of these elections serve as the final straw on the back of an opposition that has remained largely uninspiring and unworthy of serious consideration by informed and discerning voters. Rather than offering credible alternatives, the opposition has resorted to rhetoric, sensationalism, and obstruction. The electorate has now delivered a firm and democratic verdict.
Furthermore, the events surrounding these elections have once again shown that social media dominance as a vehicle for political activism may, after all, be over-rated. The amplified noise of the opposition across digital platforms did not translate into real electoral penetration or public acceptance when it mattered most – at the ballot box. Democracy is ultimately decided by voters, not virtual trends. It will take far more than day-dreaming, online theatrics, or manufactured outrage to unseat a well-grounded and performance-driven ruling party.
If morning truly shows the day, then the forthcoming 2027 national elections may well be a walk in the park for the ruling APC, on the strength of its performance and the implicit confidence reposed in it by the Nigerian people. The momentum demonstrated in these by-elections is not accidental; it is a reflection of trust earned through decisive leadership and courageous reforms.
