The early arrival of the Somolu political heavyweights underscored their commitment to active participation in the convention, widely regarded as a critical gathering that will shape the future direction of the ruling All Progressives Congress. The Lagos delegation, known for its strong influence within the party, is expected to play a pivotal role in deliberations and decision-making processes during the convention.
Party faithful and stakeholders from Somolu, who were seen arriving in groups, expressed optimism about the outcomes of the convention, noting that it presents an opportunity to further strengthen party unity, reinforce internal democracy, and strategize ahead of forthcoming political engagements.
Hon. AbdulHamed Salawu ‘Dullar’, a chieftain within who spoke with The Political Times, upon arrival, described the convention as “a defining moment for the APC,” emphasizing the need for cohesion and collective resolve among members. He added that the Somolu bloc remains united and aligned with the broader objectives of the Lagos State chapter.
The convention, which has drawn delegates from all 36 states and the Federal Capital Territory, is expected to feature key activities including the ratification of party policies, leadership engagements, and strategic consultations aimed at consolidating the party’s dominance on the national political landscape.
Observers note that the strong presence of Lagos delegates, particularly from politically active zones like Somolu, reflects the state’s enduring significance within the APC’s national structure.
However, as proceedings commence at Eagle Square, anticipation continues to build among party members and political watchers, with many looking forward to resolutions that will further position the APC for sustained electoral success across Nigeria.
