Rep. Adesola Adedayo (APC-Lagos) says the ongoing nationwide voter registration exercise is crucial to determining a favourable outcome for President Bola Tinubu in the 2027 general elections.

Mr Adedayo, who represents the Apapa Federal Constituency, said the success of Mr Tinubu’s re-election project is directly tied to the effectiveness of the exercise in Lagos State and across the country.

The lawmaker, in a statement signed by his media aide, Famuyiwa Stephen, on Monday, urged APC leaders to begin massive grassroots mobilisation for the president by ensuring that eligible citizens register ahead of the 2027 general elections.

The lawmaker, a former two-term chairman of the Apapa-Iganmu Local Council Development Area, described Mr Tinubu as a wartime leader in the mold of Alexander the Great and Winston Churchill.

Mr Adedayo said the president is courageously tackling economic and security battles confronting the nation.

He appealed to Nigerians to remain patient, stressing that Mr Tinubu’s ultimate goal at this stage of his life is to leave behind a legacy of enduring service and national transformation.

The lawmaker recalled Mr Tinubu’s early days as Lagos governor, noting that initial criticisms later turned into widespread praise after his strategic policies began yielding results across the state.

“Mark my words, those criticising him today will soon hail him. Asiwaju is a strategist who plans deeply and delivers when it matters most for the people,” Mr Adedayo stated.

He reaffirmed confidence in the president’s leadership, saying the immediate task is to mobilise the electorate early and maintain close contact with citizens to explain government policies.

Mr Adedayo urged party leaders to take the voter registration exercise seriously, saying that if every APC stakeholder mobilised effectively, Mr Tinubu’s reelection bid in 2027 would be smooth and decisive.

“The people are responding positively,” he said. “If we keep encouraging them to register, the task of re-electing our leader will become easier. The process has already begun.”
