The event, which drew significant turnout from party supporters and constituents, saw participants marching from Y Arena in Ikoyi to Marina on Lagos Island, chanting solidarity songs and expressing confidence in the leadership of both the President and the local representative.
The walk was organized to demonstrate grassroots backing for the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) as political activities gradually intensify ahead of the next electoral cycle. Supporters at the event openly declared their loyalty to President Tinubu, describing him as a leader whose policies are being felt at the grassroots level through development initiatives and political representation.
“We know our daddy will win. We must come out and show support and show numbers,” one of the participants said during the rally, urging greater voter mobilization ahead of the election period.
Another supporter expressed strong confidence in the President’s re-election bid, insisting that the administration has delivered tangible benefits to ordinary citizens.
“We feel everything the President has been doing down here at the grassroots level,” the supporter said. “That is why we have come out to say we want President Tinubu to return in 2027.”
The demonstration also extended support to the local lawmaker representing the constituency, with many attendees describing him as a responsive and accessible leader who has maintained close ties with his constituents.
“We are for him. He is like a father to us. He is everything to this constituency,” another supporter declared, emphasizing strong local loyalty ahead of the primary elections.
The state lawmaker, in his remarks, expressed gratitude to the crowd for the overwhelming show of support, describing the turnout as both humbling and motivating.
“What I see today is a strong expression of support for the President and for our constituency leadership,” he said. “I am humbled that they also want me in office. It is truly the people’s choice.”
He added that the endorsement reflects the voice and mandate of the people, pledging to continue delivering improved representation if re-elected.
As the 2027 general elections approach, the solidarity walk highlights early mobilization efforts within Lagos APC structures, where support rallies and grassroots engagements are already shaping the political landscape. The outcome of upcoming party primaries is expected to play a crucial role in determining who eventually secures the APC ticket for both state and federal positions in the constituency.
