The Lagos State chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC) has said that the party is not distracted by the politics of the 2027 general election.
In a statement on friday, the Lagos APC spokesperson, Seye Oladejo, was reacting to recent remarks by Bauchi Governor Bala Mohammed. The governor had accused the APC and the Federal Government of prioritising politics over governance ahead of the 2027 elections.
Oladejo described the accusation as a “misplaced outburst from a frustrated opposition,” stating that President Bola Tinubu and the APC remain concentrated on their 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.
