Speaker of the Lagos State House of Assembly, Rt. Hon. (Dr) 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 on Tuesday, March 3, at the Mobolaji Johnson Stadium (formerly Onikan Stadium) on Lagos Island, returned Pastor Cornelius Ojelabi as the substantive state chairman for another term.
In a statement signed by his Chief Press Secretary, Mr. Dave Agboola, shortly after the exercise, Obasa praised the peaceful and transparent manner in which the congress was conducted, describing it as a testament to the maturity and unity of the party in the state.
He said Ojelabi’s re-election reflected the confidence and trust party members across Lagos continue to repose in his leadership.
“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 stated.
The Speaker urged the newly elected executives to build on the party’s achievements, deepen internal democracy, and promote cohesion among members, stressing that the Lagos APC must remain a model of progressive governance and political stability in Nigeria.
Obasa also commended delegates and stakeholders who participated in the congress, noting that their commitment to the party’s ideals remains crucial to sustaining its dominance and organisational strength in the state.
