    Sanwo-Olu congratulates Lagos APC spokesman, Seye Oladejo, at 60

    Lagos State Governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu, has congratulated the Publicity Secretary of the Lagos State chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Mogaji Oluseye Oladejo, on his 60th birthday, describing him as a dependable party spokesman and a valuable asset to the state.

    In a statement issued by his special adviser on media and publicity, Gboyega Akosile, the governor praised Oladejo’s contributions to governance and party politics in Lagos, noting his long years of service and commitment to public duty.

    Sanwo-Olu described the former Chairman of Mushin Local Government and ex-member of the Lagos State Executive Council as a seasoned politician and administrator who deployed the opportunities of public office to advance good governance in the state.

    He said Oladejo’s attainment of the Diamond age was a milestone worthy of gratitude to God, commending his impactful life and meritorious service to Lagos State, including his roles as Special Adviser to the Governor on Commerce and Industry and later Commissioner for Special Duties.

    “On behalf of my adorable wife, Ibijoke, the government and good people of Lagos State, I join family, friends, political leaders, and members of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Lagos State to congratulate our party’s Publicity Secretary, Mogaji Oluseye Oladejo, on his 60th birthday,” the governor said.

    He added, “Mogaji Oladejo is a seasoned politician and administrator who has contributed significantly to the ruling party and Lagos State. He served his community, local government, and our dear state in different capacities with passion and displayed a high level of integrity, loyalty, dedication, and professionalism in public and political offices. He has been a good spokesman for Lagos APC, and we are proud of him.”

    Sanwo-Olu further described Oladejo as a committed patriot and exemplary servant-leader whose record of service continues to inspire others in public life.

    “As our party’s Publicity Secretary in Lagos celebrates his 60th birthday, I urge him to rededicate himself to the greater good of mankind. I pray that God will grant him long life and sound health to enable him to render more service to humanity, our party, Lagos State, and Nigeria,” the governor said.

  • Why PDP can’t displace APC, by Oladejo

    Why PDP can’t displace APC, by Oladejo

    The All Progressives Congress (APC) has described the threat by the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to displace it in 2027as an empty boasting and day dreaming.

    Lagos APC Publicity Secretary Seye Oladejo said in a statement said PDP lacked the “structure and strength” to unseat the ruling party.

    The ststement reads: “Ordinarily, such political daydreaming would be dismissed as the routine rhetoric of an opposition party desperate to stay relevant. However, for the benefit of the public and in defense of facts over fiction, we find it necessary to set the record straight.

    “The PDP’s claim of possessing the structure and strength to defeat the APC is both laughable and detached from the current political reality in Nigeria. What structure is the PDP referring to — the same disjointed, crisis-ridden, and fragmented formation that has failed to present a united front since 2015? Or the same “strength” that has led to serial losses at the polls, mass defections of key figures, and internal implosions across states?

    “It is clear that the PDP is yet to recover from the political rejection it suffered over the past decade — a rejection rooted in its legacy of corruption, impunity, and squandered national opportunities. Nigerians have not forgotten the 16 years of PDP misrule that left our nation economically vulnerable, infrastructurally backward, and institutionally weakened.

    “In contrast, the APC remains the most formidable political movement in Nigeria today, grounded in progressive ideals, national unity, and results-driven leadership. From Lagos to Borno, Rivers to Kano, our policies and people-centric governance continue to win the trust and support of Nigerians at all levels.

    “The 2023 elections reaffirmed APC’s national spread and deep grassroots connection. The same Nigerians who gave us their mandate then are witnesses to the significant strides being made by the President Bola Ahmed Tinubu-led administration — particularly in economic reform, infrastructural renewal, digital transformation, and national security.

    While the PDP continues to operate in the echo chambers of political nostalgia, the APC is busy rebuilding Nigeria and expanding its reach. If the PDP believes its press statements and internal wishful thinking can substitute for credible leadership, national cohesion, and visionary planning, then it clearly hasn’t learned anything from its past electoral humiliations.

    We urge the PDP to focus on resolving its chronic internal crises, rather than issuing hollow statements about 2027. Nigeria deserves a credible opposition, not a party still chasing the shadow of its lost glory.

    Come 2027, the APC will again present to Nigerians a record of achievements, a unity of purpose, and a future of promise — not the empty boasts and recycled faces of yesterday’s failures.
