A support group within the All Progressives Congress, the Agbelebu Solidarity Forum, has staged a thank-you rally across Agege Local Government Area of Lagos State, expressing appreciation to party leaders while reaffirming support for the re-election of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu in 2027.
The
group described event as a “Thank You Walk”. The event attracted party faithful,
supporters and residents who trooped out in large numbers to celebrate the
outcome of the recently concluded APC primary election in Agege Constituency I.
The
organisers said the rally was convened to commend the Lagos State leadership of
the party for what they termed a transparent and credible primary process that
reflected the will of party members.
The
procession kicked off from the Oniwaya axis of Agege and moved through key
areas, including Ogba, before terminating at the APC State Secretariat located
on Acme Road, Ikeja.
Participants,
carrying banners and chanting solidarity songs, described the emergence of
Gbenga Abiola, popularly known as “Agbelebu,” as the party’s candidate for
the Lagos State House of Assembly seat representing Agege
Constituency I as a true reflection of grassroots democracy.
At the
APC secretariat, members of the forum paid homage to party leaders, applauding
their role in ensuring what they called a fair and transparent electoral
process.
Speaking
with journalists during the rally, Abiola expressed gratitude to the party
leadership for upholding the outcome of the primary election, noting that it
demonstrated a strong commitment to internal democracy.
“The
leadership of our great party has shown respect for the wishes of members by
standing by the true outcome of the primary election.”
He
added that the rally was a symbolic gesture to appreciate the party’s
leadership and reaffirm loyalty to its ideals.
Abiola
said the support received from party leaders and members would help strengthen
unity within the APC and position it for future electoral victories.
He
pledged to collaborate with stakeholders, party faithful and residents of Agege
Constituency I to advance the party’s programmes and deepen grassroots
mobilisation.
The
APC candidate also used the occasion to declare support for President Tinubu’s
second-term ambition, describing him as a leader who has continued to provide
direction for both the party and the country.
According
to him, members of the Agbelebu Solidarity Forum would mobilise support for
Tinubu and other APC candidates in future elections.
He
further reiterated his commitment to party discipline and pledged to contribute
to the growth and development of the APC at all levels.
The
rally concluded at the APC State Secretariat, where participants renewed their
allegiance to the party and pledged continued support for its leadership ahead
of upcoming political activities.
