In a strategic move ahead of the 2027 elections, former Minister Musiliu Obanikoro has rallied support from key leaders of the All Progressives Congress (APC) for Moses Olarewaju, endorsing him as the party's preferred candidate for the House of Representatives seat in Amuwo-Odofin. This endorsement comes amid ongoing preparations within the APC to solidify its position in the region.
Obanikoro’s backing of Olarewaju signals a united front aimed at consolidating votes in a constituency that has seen significant political activity. The former minister emphasized the importance of party unity, stating, "We must come together to ensure that our candidate represents the interests of the people and the party effectively." With the APC navigating internal dynamics and external competition, this alignment is crucial for maintaining dominance in Lagos politics.
As the 2027 elections draw closer, the APC's ability to present a cohesive strategy and candidate will be pivotal. The endorsement not only strengthens Olarewaju’s candidacy but may also set the tone for broader party dynamics as factions vie for control and influence in the lead-up to the polls.
