All Progressives Congress’ stakeholders in Lagos West senatorial district on Monday reaffirmed commitment to the party’s agenda of producing credible candidates for the 2027 elections.

The stakeholders spoke during separate interviews on the sidelines of the Lagos West senatorial primaries in Ikeja.

The primary election, held at the Sports Centre, Ikeja, recorded a massive turnout of delegates and party loyalists from different wards across the district.

Delegates from Ikeja, Onigbongbo, Agege and Ojodu wards participated in the exercise, which returned Idiat Adebule as consensus candidate unopposed.

Party members at the venue praised the leadership for adopting consensus, describing the arrangement as a strategy that strengthened unity within the APC.

A party member from Agege, Mufutau Orenusi, said the consensus arrangement reflected discipline and stability within the ruling party.

“There is nothing wrong in consensus because it allows us to keep to the party structure. We are fully behind the party on this,” he said.

Mr Orenusi described the peaceful conduct of the exercise as evidence of unity among party stakeholders and supporters across Lagos West senatorial district.

He noted that APC remained organised in spite of the large turnout witnessed during the exercise, saying the atmosphere remained orderly throughout the process.

Another party member, Amos Fasina, said decisions taken by the party leadership must be respected by all loyal members.

“We cannot be in the party and be doing other things. If our leaders ask us to support a candidate, why should we question them?” Mr Fasina said.

According to him, party leaders understood the political direction necessary for electoral success and deserved the support of members.

He maintained that Ms Adebule remained the preferred choice of the APC for the Lagos West Senatorial seat ahead of the 2027 elections.

Delegates openly endorsed Ms Adebule by waving their registration slips during the primary conducted under tight security presence.

Several APC chieftains attended the exercise, including James Faleke, representing Ikeja federal constituency in the House of Representatives.

James Odunmbaku, a member of the Governing Advisory Council, and Ojodu LGA chairman, Olusegun Odunmbaku, also attended the primary.

Party chairmen from Ikeja, Onigbongbo and other wards were present as supporters celebrated Adebule’s return as the party’s consensus candidate.
