The Lagos State chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC) has criticised opposition parties over what it described as a lack of coherence, courage and constructive engagement with the pressing needs of Nigerians as the 2027 general elections approach.
The Lagos APC spokesperson, Seye Oladejo, made the remarks in a statement issued on Monday.
According to the party, as the nation gradually moves toward the 2027 elections, the political climate suggests what it called a potentially predictable electoral cycle.
“The Lagos State chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC) observes with concern that parties expected to provide credible alternatives have instead chosen the path of internal division, populist rhetoric and political opportunism,” the statement read.
The party said that rather than building strong institutions, developing policy-driven platforms or presenting solutions to Nigeria’s economic and social challenges, opposition parties have largely confined themselves to media engagements and repeated criticisms.
It added that developments within the opposition indicate internal disagreements driven by personal ambitions.
“Instead of building consensus and strengthening party structures, leading figures within the opposition appear locked in a contest of individual aspirations. The result is a fragmented political bloc unable to present a coherent national alternative,” the statement said.
The Lagos APC further noted that there has been limited evidence of organisation, mobilisation or policy articulation by opposition parties ahead of the next election cycle.
It maintained that democracy thrives when there is a responsible and organised opposition capable of presenting viable alternatives to voters.
“In contrast, the APC at both the federal and state levels continues to demonstrate commitment to governance, reforms and national development. From economic restructuring initiatives to infrastructural investments and social interventions, our party remains focused on delivering results and strengthening democratic institutions,” the party stated.
The APC added that as 2027 approaches, Nigerians will assess leadership, performance and vision when the time comes.
The party also urged political actors across the country to elevate the quality of democratic engagement through policy debates, structured political organisation and clear governance proposals.
