By-Elections: APC’s Victories Reflect Nigerians Confidence In Tinubu’s Leadership – Lagos Chapter

The All Progressives Congress (APC) in Lagos State has described the outcome of Saturday’s by-elections in parts of the country as a public endorsement of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu and the ruling party’s governance agenda.

In a statement issued on Sunday (today), the Lagos APC spokesperson, Seye Oladejo, said the results reflected growing confidence in the party’s direction, particularly the Renewed Hope Agenda being pursued at the federal level.

“The outcome of these by-elections represents a clear and democratic referendum on the leadership of President Bola Tinubu and the policy direction of our great party,” Oladejo said.

He expressed appreciation to voters in Rivers State, Kano State, the Federal Capital Territory and other areas where the elections were conducted, describing their participation as a demonstration of faith in the APC’s reform-driven agenda.

According to the party, the victories recorded by its candidates show public trust in ongoing economic reforms, infrastructure development and institutional strengthening initiatives being implemented by the Tinubu administration.

“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 federal and state levels,” the statement added.

The Lagos APC argued that the by-election outcomes amounted to a decisive rejection of opposition parties, accusing them of relying heavily on rhetoric and social media activism rather than presenting practical policy alternatives.

“These results send a strong message that governance is not driven by social media popularity or online noise, but by tangible performance and the ability to deliver on promises,” Oladejo stated.

Naija News reports that the party further dismissed claims that digital influence alone could determine electoral success, noting that real victories are shaped by grassroots mobilisation and voter confidence.

Looking ahead, the Lagos APC said the results could signal strong prospects for the party in the 2027 general elections.

“The momentum demonstrated in these by-elections is not accidental; it is a reflection of trust earned through decisive leadership, courageous reforms, and a commitment to national development,” the spokesperson said.

The party commended the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) for what it described as the credible conduct of the elections and praised security agencies for maintaining peace and order throughout the exercise.

It also acknowledged party leaders, campaign teams and volunteers for their grassroots mobilisation efforts.

Reaffirming its support for President Tinubu, the Lagos APC called on Nigerians, including members of opposition parties, to set aside partisan differences and work collectively towards building a united and prosperous nation.
