The former APC governorship aspirant, Samuel Mawuyon Ajose (SMA), has announced that political leaders and stakeholders in Badagry have firmly resolved to deliver a hundred percent block vote for President Bola Ahmed Tinubu and the All Progressives Congress (APC) in the 2027 general elections.
The disclosure was made public on Friday during a high-stakes reconciliation and stakeholder engagement meeting hosted at the Badagry Federation House.
The strategic gathering unfolded in distinct phases to mend fences and rally party faithful following past Primary electoral contests. The leadership first convened behind closed doors with apex party elders to map out a foolproof strategy ensuring total electoral dominance for the APC come 2027.
This was followed by a broader session involving current political officeholders, candidates, and party members. During the address, Ajose directly appealed to aspirants who missed out on tickets during the primary elections, urging them to prioritize the collective interest of the party and cast aside personal grievances for the sake of progressive victory.
“We are not working for any candidate but the party from the highest position to the lowest position. Badagry is for APC, Badagry is voting APC 100%, this is also to let you know that the reconciliation that was put forward by the SMA has achieved results.
"By the next election, the results we are going to see will be unprecedented by the grace of God,” Ajose declared.
Addressing concerns over party unity and past internal competition, Ajose emphasized that support given to any individual stakeholder ultimately reinforces the collective structure of the ruling party.
He noted that closing ranks will guarantee that future political opportunities and appointments remain within the community rather than going to outsiders.
“Whether you voted for Sesi Whingan or Teliat Onilude, you all voted for APC, so APC is known to be for all of us. By the time we achieve that, most of the opportunities that come will be for every one of us; we can't bring strangers to fill these positions,” he added.
The successful reconciliation meeting has been widely commended by grassroots members as a vital step toward solidifying the party's presence in the Badagry Federation ahead of the 2027 polls, signaling a unified front aimed at securing resounding victories across all elective positions.
