The Lagos State chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC) says the party is not distracted by 2027 politicking. Lagos APC Spokesman, Seye Oladejo, made this remark in a statement on Friday.
Oladejo was reacting to the recent remarks made by Bauchi Gov. Bala Mohammed, in which he accused the APC and the Federal Government of prioritising politics over governance ahead of the 2027 elections.
Describing the accusation as a misplaced outburst from a frustrated opposition, Oladejo said President Bola Tinubu and the APC remained concentrated on its governance agenda.
“Tinubu, the APC remains fully focused on its governance agenda — with bold reforms in economy, security, infrastructure, and institutional development.
“This administration has chosen to face the tough challenges of nation-building head-on, while some in the opposition are busy grandstanding in the media and chasing shadows.
“We also urge Gov. Mohammed to look to Lagos as an example of what consistent, visionary, and people-centred governance under the APC can achieve.
“Governance is not a press statement; it is the hard work of delivering real results.
“The APC is not distracted by 2027. When the time for elections comes, our performance will be our campaign,” Oladejo said.
He said that while the party respected the right of opposition leaders to express their views, it found it both ironic and regrettable that such a statement would come from Mohammed.
He urged the governor to direct his energy towards governance of the state rather than toward baseless attacks on the APC and the Federal Government.
“We encourage Gov. Mohammed to channel his energy into addressing the pressing developmental needs of the good people of Bauchi State.
