In an exclusive interview, Tunde Lemo, a prominent figure in Ogun State politics, reaffirmed his unwavering commitment to running for the governorship seat in the 2027 elections. Speaking candidly about his intentions, Lemo made it clear that his aspiration to lead Ogun remains as strong as ever.
Reflecting on the political climate, he expressed his belief that democracy is thriving in Ogun, with the All Progressives Congress (APC) serving as a united force under the leadership of its current executives. "I am still firmly focused on my goal to lead Ogun State, and I am confident that the party's unity will play a vital role in our success in 2027," Lemo said.
Lemo’s comments come after the recent announcement of new leadership structures within the APC, a development he strongly supports.
At a well-attended party meeting, Lemo joined other party leaders in praising the work of the Sanusi-led executive, affirming that their leadership had laid a solid foundation for the party’s continued success. According to Lemo, the unity displayed during the gathering, which was witnessed by representatives from the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), exemplifies the strength of the APC as a cohesive political entity. "There was no rancor.
The affirmation of the leadership shows that we are ready for the challenges ahead, and I believe we can carry this momentum into the 2027 elections," he remarked.
Drawing inspiration from successful political strategies across the country, Lemo cited examples from states like Lagos and Edo, where the APC has demonstrated remarkable unity and political resilience. In Lagos, despite initial internal disagreements, party members rallied behind their leaders, securing a resounding victory in the gubernatorial elections. Similarly, in Edo State, the APC managed to unify its factions ahead of the 2020 elections, resulting in a successful campaign despite facing formidable opposition. Lemo believes that Ogun State can replicate these success stories if the APC remains united, ensuring a smooth pathway to electoral victory in 2027.
The focal point of Lemo's vision for Ogun's future is the continuation of the "Renewed Hope" agenda, championed by President Bola Ahmed Tinubu. Lemo is confident that Ogun, under his leadership, will align with the national objectives set forth by the president, ensuring that the state plays a pivotal role in Nigeria's overall progress. "Ogun will follow suit and support the Renewed Hope agenda. This is the path to a better future for our people, and I will be at the forefront of that journey," Lemo declared with conviction, signaling his readiness to lead the state toward a brighter, more prosperous future.
As the 2027 elections approach, Lemo’s message to APC members is clear: unity is the key to success. He stresses that despite the competitive nature of the race, the party must remain a "united family" that works together to secure a victory. "Only one person will get the mandate, but we must all rally around that person. We must work as one team to ensure APC’s victory," Lemo urged, calling for all party members to focus on a common goal. With his sights set firmly on the governorship seat, Tunde Lemo is determined to lead Ogun State to success in 2027, guided by a spirit of unity and shared purpose within the APC.
