The Lagos chapter of the All Progressives Congress says its recent electronic membership registration and party congresses have set a benchmark for democratic organisation in Nigeria.
The party’s spokesman, Seye Oladejo, said this in a statement on Friday. Mr Oladejo said the exercises reflected the party’s commitment to discipline, innovation and strong institutional structures.
He said the successful electronic membership registration demonstrated the party’s ability to deploy modern systems to strengthen internal democracy.
“Across wards and local governments in Lagos state, our congresses were conducted peacefully, transparently, and in strict compliance with constitutional guidelines. Participation was massive. The process was orderly. The outcome was clear: a united and forward-looking party ready for the tasks ahead,” the APC politician said.
According to him, beyond the successful conduct of the congresses, the quality of members elected into the state executive of the party speaks volumes.
Mr Oladejo urged opposition parties to learn the values of discipline, organisation and unity of purpose in political leadership.
He said, “Politics is not noise-making. It is not social media agitation. It is not perpetual internal crisis. It is structure. It is coordination. It is leadership.
“These enduring values remain the bedrock of the progressive movement’s dominance in Lagos State and across Nigeria. They explain why the APC continues to grow stronger while others grow louder and weaker.”
He said these values remained the foundation of the progressive movement’s dominance in Lagos and across Nigeria. He said the development also reflected the confidence residents continue to place in the APC.
“Above all, this moment once again affirms the absolute trust that Lagosians place in the APC as a serious, competent, and result-driven political platform worthy of their mandate.
“The people of Lagos have consistently chosen stability over chaos, progress over bitterness, and performance over empty rhetoric. We will not be distracted by noise. We will not be slowed by cynicism. And we will certainly not take lectures on organisation from parties that cannot organise themselves.
“The APC in Lagos stands disciplined. It stands cohesive. It stands battle-ready. And when the time comes, the verdict of the people will once again be emphatic,” Mr Oladejo said.
