Leaders and critical Stakeholders of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in the East Senatorial District of Lagos State, have formally endorsed President Bola Ahmed Tinubu GCFR, for the 2027 presidential election, and pledged to deliver bloc votes for his re-election.
The endorsement was made on Thursday, January 15, 2026, at the CMD Magodo, Lagos, during a meeting of the Lagos East APC Leaders, concerned Elders and Public Office Holders, to review the past challenges and the strategic steps for the 2027 elections.
The Stakeholders declared that the Lagos East would continue to win elections for the APC in Lagos State and Nigeria, describing their commitment as the most practical way for advancing the political, economic and social interests of the District.
Arising from this position, the gathering unanimously adopted President Bola Ahmed Tinubu as the sole and undisputed presidential candidate for the 2027 general elections, as moved by the former SSG and Member, Governance Advisory Council GAC, Asiwaju Olorunfunmi Basorun.
Speaking at the gathering, Senator Mukhail Adetokunbo Abiru FCA, described President Tinubu’s leadership since May 2023 as the “calm of the storm,” noting that the administration took bold but necessary decisions to avert economic collapse and reposition the country for sustainable growth.
According to him, reforms such as fuel subsidy removal, foreign exchange unification, fiscal and tax restructuring have started to produce measurable gains, including easing inflation, particularly food inflation, greater exchange rate transparency, improved external reserves and renewed investor confidence. He added that GDP growth has remained positive and that improved subnational revenues are gradually impacting the micro-economy, easing pressure on households and small businesses.
Abiru, who is the Chairman, Senate Committee on Banking, Insurance and other Financial Institutions, urged party leaders to mobilise residents for Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC’s second phase of Continuous Voter Registration and the APC membership e-registration exercise, stressing that data-driven planning is critical to electoral success. He also endorsed the funding structure proposed by the Lagos East APC leadership, emphasising the need for predictable and transparent party financing.
Presenting his stewardship, the Senator said his representation has been anchored on three pillars: legislation, empowerment and endowment. He highlighted his role in sponsoring and co-sponsoring landmark legislations, including the Insurance Industry Reforms Act and the Copyright Amendment Act, as well as ongoing amendment bills on BOFIA, NEXIM and NAICOM.
On constituency projects, Abiru disclosed that over 35 schools have benefited from classroom construction and rehabilitation, while several health facilities, including 40-bed hospitals and primary health centres across the district, have been constructed or upgraded. He added that about 11 community roads have been completed, with more ongoing, alongside the installation of over 700 solar streetlights, provision of transformers to over 30 communities and construction of 21 motorised boreholes.
He further disclosed that 48 cooperative societies, each supported with a ₦10 million take-off grant, amounting to ₦480 million, to boost grassroots economic inclusion was equally launched last December.
He added that about 2,000 constituents received empowerment tools like: Freezers, Generators, Ovens, Industrial Sewing Machines and Grinding Machines, among others. While over 80,000 households had so far benefitted from Food Pack schemes, across the district, Abiru informed.
Calling for unity and discipline within the APC, the Senator urged Stakeholders to continue to support President Tinubu’s Renewed Hope Agenda, stressing that collective effort remains essential for sustained development in Lagos East, Lagos State and Nigeria.
