The All Progressives Congress (APC) in Lagos State has expressed strong optimism about sweeping all chairmanship and councillorship positions in the upcoming Local Government election scheduled for Saturday.

Speaking with journalists in Agege, the party’s spokesperson, Mr. Seye Oladejo, said the APC’s anticipated victory is rooted in its track record of performance across different tiers of government.

According to Oladejo, the party remains the only viable political option in the state, noting that the opposition is virtually absent.

“There is no doubt around the APC victory, but it is how massive the voting is, which is because this local government election is a preparation for the 2027 election.

“So, we are confident that we will win all 57 Local Governments because the APC is the party of choice.

“Aside from this, there is no alternative to APC in Lagos based on our performance at various levels; the local governments, states and federal government.

Oladejo said the conversation was now around how their people would come out to vote.

He said the exercise was peaceful, but the turnout could be better, saying that people were showing enthusiasm to show their civil responsibility.

The spokesperson urged the electorate to troop out some more to vote for the chairman and councillors of their choice.

He said, “I also need to put it on record that the exercise started a little bit late.

“When this happens, there should be an extension of voting time so that we will not deny the people who are supposed to vote.”
