The Speaker of the Lagos State House of Assembly, Mudashiru Obasa, has congratulated the newly elected executives of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Lagos State Chapter, following the successful conduct of the party’s 2026 State Congress.
The congress, held at the Mobolaji Johnson Stadium (formerly Onikan Stadium), produced a new set of party executives, with Cornelius Ojelabi returned as the substantive state chairman for another tenure.
In a statement signed by his Chief Press Secretary, Mr. Dave Agboola, and released shortly after the congress, Obasa commended the peaceful and transparent conduct of the exercise.
He described Ojelabi’s reelection as a reflection of the confidence and trust reposed in his leadership by party members across the state.
“Pastor Ojelabi has shown remarkable dedication and vision in steering the affairs of our party in Lagos.
His return as chairman is a well-deserved recognition of his efforts to strengthen the APC and ensure its continued success,” Obasa said.
The Speaker urged the new executives to prioritise consolidation of the party’s achievements, deepen internal democracy, and foster unity among members ahead of the next electioneering cycle.
He emphasised that the APC in Lagos must continue to serve as a model of progressive governance and political stability in Nigeria.
Obasa also congratulated delegates and stakeholders who participated in the congress, noting that their commitment to the party’s ideals remains critical to sustaining its electoral dominance and organisational strength in the state.
