The party’s spokesperson, Seye Oladejo, made the call in a statement on Sunday in Lagos, noting that the election outcome reflected a decline in the Labour Party’s grassroots influence and the fading strength of Obi’s Obedient Movement.

Oladejo said the result, especially from Obi’s polling unit, showed that online popularity could not replace consistent political mobilisation and voter engagement. He explained that the Anambra poll had revealed the importance of structure and long-term organisation in achieving political success.

He added that while President Bola Tinubu continues to focus on governance and reform, other politicians must learn to build capacity and strengthen public trust through performance at the local level. According to him, the APC’s growing support in Anambra demonstrated increasing confidence in the ruling party’s leadership and governance.
The APC spokesman commended the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) for conducting a peaceful and credible election and praised the security agencies for maintaining order during the process. He said the result showed that election victories are earned through hard work, planning, and consistent delivery.
Oladejo urged political actors to deepen citizen engagement, strengthen their grassroots presence, and focus on issue-based campaigns ahead of future elections. He also reaffirmed Lagos APC’s commitment to good governance, national unity, and inclusive development, stressing that the party would continue to expand its reach and credibility across Nigeria.
