Political Faction Backs PDP’s Adelaja Adeoye For 2027 Lagos Guber

Political faction backs PDP’s Adelaja Adeoye for 2027 Lagos guber. Kazeem Oshodi, spokesperson of the group, announced the endorsement in a statement issued on Sunday in Lagos.

Oshodi said the move signalled growing political momentum for change ahead of the 2027 poll in Lagos state, describing Adeoye as a formidable contender capable of challenging the dominance of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC).

“After careful assessment of the current state of affairs in Lagos, LPG unequivocally endorses Prince Laja Adeoye as the next governor of Lagos State in 2027,” he said.

“Laja Adeoye represents the fresh, innovative, and people-centred leadership that Lagos desperately needs to move beyond incremental progress to transformative prosperity for every resident.”

Oshodi described LPG as a coalition of progressive citizens, youths, entrepreneurs, business leaders, mobilisers, and community advocates committed to inclusive growth.

He praised Adeoye’s track record as a visionary entrepreneur, real estate developer, and political strategist with a deep understanding of Lagos’ economic dynamics.

Oshodi said the group had pledged to mobilise millions of Lagos residents across political, social, and economic divides to ensure Adeoye’s emergence as governor.

He said Lagos required transformative leadership that would deliver inclusive prosperity beyond what he described as selective flagship projects.

“While we acknowledge some infrastructure strides under the present APC government, these efforts have often been marred by delays, incomplete execution, and unequal distribution of benefits,” he said.

“Persistent traffic gridlock, rising living costs, inadequate affordable housing, and insufficient job creation remain serious concerns affecting many Lagosians daily.

“Lagos deserves more than selective flagship projects; it requires holistic, inclusive prosperity that benefits all social classes, locations, and communities.”

Oshodi said Adeoye had demonstrated excellence in real estate development by delivering high-quality and sustainable housing schemes in the private sector.

“His expertise in urban planning, innovation, and private-sector efficiency uniquely positions him to tackle Lagos’ core developmental challenges effectively,” he said.
