Unity, coordination key to APC’s electoral success in 2027 – Obanikoro
The Director-General of the Lagos State All Progressives Congress (APC) PBAT/KOH Campaign Council, Senator Musiliu Obanikoro, has urged party leaders and campaign officials to strengthen unity, improve coordination and adopt a common strategy ahead of the 2027 general elections.
Obanikoro made the call while delivering the opening address at the ongoing Lagos APC Campaign Council retreat at Eko Hotel, Victoria Island, Lagos.
The retreat, themed “The Road to the Ballot: One Team, One Strategy,” is aimed at aligning the party’s leadership and campaign structures towards achieving its electoral objectives.
Obanikoro said electoral success required deliberate planning, effective coordination, disciplined execution and sustained engagement with the electorate, stressing that political enthusiasm alone was insufficient to secure victory at the polls.
According to him, the party must establish a clear vision, shared strategy, defined responsibilities and effective communication channels to mobilise its structures and supporters towards a common goal.
He emphasised that the individual contributions of party leaders, directorates, subcommittees and campaign structures would be more effective if properly coordinated, urging stakeholders to place the collective interest of the party above personal considerations.
“No single individual, sub-committee, directorate or campaign structure can achieve electoral success in isolation. Our collective strength lies in our ability to work as one coordinated team, respect established channels of communication, resolve differences constructively, and place the overall interest of the Party above personal considerations,” he said.
The campaign council director-general noted that unity did not necessarily mean agreement on every issue but required members to remain committed to a common purpose despite their differences.
He described the retreat as an opportunity for party leaders to assess their preparedness, strengthen relationships, identify potential challenges and agree on practical strategies for the elections.
