Lagos Politics Heat Up: APC Condemns ADC For Apprentice Allegations

The Lagos State chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC) has dismissed the African Democratic Congress (ADC)’s claims of capturing the state as nothing more than a political fantasy.....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶

In a statement on Monday, APC spokesperson Mogaji Seye Oladejo warned that Lagos is not a playground for political apprentices and is certainly not up for grabs.

Oladejo criticized ADC for seeking “citizens’ cooperation” to take over a state widely recognized as Nigeria’s benchmark for governance, innovation, and leadership, despite struggling to conduct basic ward meetings.

He asserted that ADC has no realistic chance of winning any election in Lagos State, stating:

“Let it be clear: Lagos is not a laboratory for political apprentices. Lagos is not for grabs. And Lagos is certainly not a charity project for parties seeking relevance through laughable headlines.

“The ADC’s posturing is merely a comical exercise in wishful thinking. A party lacking structures, credible candidates, ideas, or electoral presence cannot hope to take over a state built through decades of vision, continuity, competence, and exceptional performance.

“In 2023, and even earlier, the ADC struggled to gather members for a single bus stop meeting. Yet now, they claim they can dominate a state with over 20 million people, world-class infrastructure, and one of the most sophisticated electorates in Nigeria. There must be limits to political comedy.

“We urge the ADC to first achieve a quorum at its next internal party meeting. Only then should they consider contesting councillorship seats before dreaming of Alausa.”
