We Won’t Abandon Our Own!” – Lagos APC Fires Back At Olawepo-Hashim Over Tinubu

The Lagos State chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC) has reaffirmed that the South-West will stand firmly behind President Bola Ahmed Tinubu in the 2027 elections, insisting that no propaganda or opposition theatrics can shake the region’s loyalty.

In a statement on Saturday, party spokesperson Seye Oladejo blasted comments credited to supporters of PDP chieftain, Dr. Gbenga Olawepo-Hashim, describing them as “baseless noise” and lacking political weight. He dismissed Olawepo-Hashim as “a perennial aspirant and convenient mascot for opposition desperation,” adding that he lacks the structure or capacity to challenge Tinubu’s dominance.

Oladejo further stated that Tinubu would decisively defeat any coalition against him, arguing that the PDP is “bankrupt of human and material resources.” He mocked opposition endorsements as “photocopied letterhead approvals from tiny rallies that do not translate into votes,” while stressing that the current administration is laying an “irreversible foundation” in infrastructure, agriculture, education, fiscal reforms, and security.

Accusing critics of trafficking in “selective statistics and currency rhetoric,” the Lagos APC maintained that Nigerians will not return to what it called the “waste, arrogance, and economic mismanagement” of the past. Oladejo stressed that the South-West will not abandon its own son, insisting that in 2027, voters will choose continuity and proven leadership over “the empty promises of political tourists.”
