Dayo Alebiosu Unifies Kosofe APC Stakeholders, Sacrificing Personal Ambition for 2027 Unity

In the complex political landscape of Lagos, Dayo Alebiosu, the Commissioner for Waterfront Infrastructure Development, is emerging as a pivotal figure in reshaping the political atmosphere of Kosofe. Ahead of the 2027 general election, Alebiosu, a former member of the House of Representatives, is spearheading efforts to foster harmony among key stakeholders within the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Kosofe and surrounding areas.

What has particularly drawn attention is the significant sacrifice observers say Alebiosu has made. Insiders suggest he has opted to forgo any ambition of returning to the House of Representatives in 2027. This decision, reportedly made to preserve unity and prevent divisive internal contests within the APC, is seen by many party faithfuls as a notable display of political maturity and commitment to the party's broader interests.

Sources indicate that Alebiosu has dedicated considerable energy in recent months to mending relationships, resolving long-standing disputes, and encouraging collaboration among the diverse factions within the Kosofe APC structure. "Many thought he was positioning himself for a return to the National Assembly, but when it became clear that he was willing to sacrifice that ambition in the interest of party unity, it changed the conversation entirely," one insider revealed.

Alebiosu's efforts to mend fences extend to former adversaries. Political observers note his cordial relationship with Rotimi Agunsoye, a former lawmaker who reportedly prevented Alebiosu's return to the House of Representatives in 2015. Their relationship has reportedly evolved significantly, with Agunsoye now frequently visiting Alebiosu. The commissioner also maintains warm relations with Kafilat Ogbara, the current representative for the Kosofe Federal constituency, and Dele Osinowo, the APC candidate for the constituency in 2027.

Furthermore, Alebiosu is engaging across old political divides. His growing rapport with Babatunde Osinowo, son of the late Senator Bayo 'Pepper' Osinowo, is generating discussion due to the historical political rivalry between Alebiosu and the late senator. Despite belonging to the same political family, Senator Osinowo was known as one of Alebiosu's fiercest opponents.
