The All Progressives Congress (APC) in Lagos State, stated on Saturday that ethnic politics will not prevent President Bola Tinubu from being re-elected in 2027.
Mr. Seye Oladejo, the spokesperson for the APC, made this announcement in a statement released in Lagos.
He was responding to Chief Dele Momodu, a former member of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), who suggested that opposition parties should unite and use ethnic identity to challenge Tinubu in the upcoming election.
Oladejo praised Momodu for finally recognizing that “President Bola Tinubu remains politically unstoppable,” especially since he recently left the PDP to join the African Democratic Congress (ADC).
He emphasized that the days of using ethnic differences as a shortcut to gain power are over.
According to Oladejo, voters in Nigeria have matured and are now more concerned with who can deliver results rather than creating divisions among people.

He remarked, that “Nigerians understand that true leadership comes from having a clear vision and consistently performing well, not from comments made from the sidelines of social events.”
Under Tinubu’s leadership, Oladejo noted, Nigeria is being rebuilt with a focus on fairness, inclusion, and necessary changes.
This includes improvements in infrastructure, economic stability, and social programs.
He highlighted that effective leadership is based on ideas and solutions, not on personal identities. He also advised Momodu to reflect on his own political journey before attempting to guide others.
“The reality is that many in the opposition accept that they will not win in 2027, individually or as a group,” he noted. ”
The 2027 election will focus on skills and achievements rather than ethnic backgrounds or old memories. In such a scenario, Dele Momodu’s style of political theatre will not have a place,” he added.
