2027: Lagos APC reaffirms five million vote target for Tinubu
The Lagos State chapter of the All Progressives Congress has restated its ambition to deliver five million votes for President Bola Tinubu in the 2027 general elections. State chairman Cornelius Ojelabi repeated the goal at a gathering on Monday, insisting it remains a central plank of the chapter's electoral plan. Reaching that number, he said, would demand effective mobilisation at the grassroots and careful strategic planning. He also warned party leaders that they will be held accountable for the assignments given to them as the polls draw closer.

Five million votes would tower over what most states can offer any single candidate, which explains why the party keeps returning to the figure. There has been quiet debate within APC circles about whether the target is realistic given turnout patterns in past elections. Still, the Lagos leadership shows no sign of softening its public commitment, and the real test will come in the wards where canvassing actually happens.
