The Lagos State chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC) has described the African Democratic Congress (ADC)’s claims of taking over the state as a political fantasy.
Naijaonpoint reports that the APC spokesman in the state, Mogaji Seye Oladejo, in a statement issued on Monday, warned the ADC that Lagos State is not for political apprentices and is not up for grabs.
Oladejo stressed that a party that cannot hold a worthwhile ward meeting is suddenly seeking “citizens’ cooperation” to take over a state globally acknowledged as Nigeria’s model for sustained governance, innovation, and leadership.
According to him, ADC cannot win an election in Lagos State.
He said, “Let it be stated clearly: Lagos is not a laboratory for political apprentices. Lagos is not up for grabs. And Lagos is certainly not a charity project for emergency parties seeking relevance through laughable headlines.
“The ADC’s posturing is nothing but a comical attempt to inflate a political balloon with the hot air of wishful thinking. A party without structures, without ideas, without credible candidates, and without electoral footprints cannot and will not take over a state built through decades of vision, continuity, competence, and unmatched performance.
“In 2023 and even before then, the ADC struggled to fill a bus stop with its entire membership. The same party is now promising to overrun a state with over 20 million people, world-class infrastructure, and the most sophisticated electorate in Nigeria. Indeed, there should be limits to political comedy.
“We encourage the ADC to first take internal attendance at its next party meeting. If they achieve a quorum, perhaps then they can graduate to contesting councillorship seats before dreaming of Alausa.”
