Lagos APC Endorses President Tinubu For 2nd Term, As COWLSO Celebrates 25th Anniversary

Lagos APC Endorses Tinubu for Second Term Amid COWLSO’s 25th Anniversary Celebration

In a politically charged atmosphere underscored by celebration and strategic alignment, the Lagos State chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC) has formally endorsed President Bola Ahmed Tinubu for a second term in office ahead of the 2027 general elections.

This declaration came during the APC Stakeholders’ Forum held at Eko Hotels and Suites in Victoria Island, Lagos, a gathering that drew prominent figures from both state and national political spheres.

The endorsement was not merely ceremonial, it was a resounding affirmation of Tinubu’s leadership and reform agenda, particularly from the political base that nurtured his rise to national prominence.

Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu, his deputy Dr. Obafemi Hamzat, Speaker of the Lagos State House of Assembly Mudashiru Obasa, and former Minister Babatunde Fashola were among the dignitaries who lent their voices to the endorsement.

Prince Tajudeen Olusi, Chairman of the Governor’s Advisory Council (GAC), and Senator Tokunbo Abiru also expressed strong support, citing Tinubu’s economic reforms and governance style as reasons for their backing.

The forum emphasized the need for a reward system within the party and proposed financial refunds for council poll losers, signaling a broader effort to strengthen party unity and morale.

Simultaneously, the Committee of Wives of Lagos State Officials (COWLSO) marked its 25th anniversary with a celebration that highlighted its contributions to social development and women empowerment.

Founded in 2000, COWLSO has played a pivotal role in health, education, and community outreach initiatives across Lagos State.

The anniversary event served as a platform to showcase the committee’s achievements and reaffirm its commitment to supporting government efforts in improving the lives of Lagosians.

The convergence of these two events, political endorsement and civic celebration, underscores the symbiotic relationship between governance and grassroots mobilization in Lagos.

While the APC’s endorsement of Tinubu sets the tone for the 2027 electoral landscape, COWLSO’s milestone reflects the enduring legacy of social advocacy within the state’s political framework.

Together, they paint a portrait of a state deeply invested in continuity, reform, and community engagement.

As the political machinery begins to stir ahead of the next election cycle, the Lagos APC’s endorsement is likely to galvanize support across the Southwest and beyond.

However, it also invites scrutiny from opposition parties and civil society groups, some of whom have criticized the move as premature and disconnected from the realities facing ordinary Nigerians.

Nonetheless, for Tinubu and his allies, the endorsement represents a strategic consolidation of power and a reaffirmation of his political roots in Lagos, a city that continues to shape the national narrative.
