As a member of the Lagos State House of Assembly, I foresee a transformative political landscape in Nigeria come 2027. The electorate is no longer swayed by mere promises; they are discerning, demanding competence, accountability, and integrity from their leaders. This growing political consciousness presents a golden opportunity for parties like the African Democratic Congress (ADC) to rise to the occasion.
Nigerians are tired of rhetoric. They truly want change, and ADC is the alternative platform they can leverage.
Our party, the ADC, is strategically positioning itself to meet these demands. We are not just about rhetoric; we are building a credible structure founded on transparency and integrity. My own electoral success in Amuwo-Odofin, where I secured a significant mandate, is a testament to the growing grassroots support and the electorate's desire for genuine change. We are confident that the ADC can emerge as a strong contender, not only in Lagos but across the nation.
I can say that we are a strong contender when it comes to the 2027 election, because transparency and integrity are what we will give to Nigerians.
The recent general meeting of our Amuwo-Odofin chapter, focused on adopting our executive congress and solidifying our coalition, underscores our commitment to building robust structures from the ward to the local government level. With over 260 officers actively piloting our affairs, we are laying a solid foundation. We have a track record of delivering results, having achieved success in previous political engagements under different platforms. Now, as the ADC, we are poised to bring back joy and happiness to Nigerians in 2027.
In my case, 16,000 votes were declared, and I had up to 21,000. That is not a small bit. So in the coming election, I see ADC on top of the game.
