A support group within the All Progressives Congress, the Agbelebu Solidarity Forum, has staged a thank-you rally across Agege Local Government Area of Lagos State, expressing appreciation to party leaders while reaffirming support for the re-election of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu in 2027.

The group described event as a “Thank You Walk,” attracted party faithful, supporters and residents who trooped out in large numbers to celebrate the outcome of the recently concluded APC primary election in Agege Constituency I.

The organisers said the rally was convened to commend the Lagos State leadership of the party for what they termed a transparent and credible primary process that reflected the will of party members.

The procession kicked off from the Oniwaya axis of Agege and moved through key areas, including Ogba, before terminating at the APC State Secretariat located on Acme Road, Ikeja.

Participants, carrying banners and chanting solidarity songs, described the emergence of Gbenga Abiola, popularly known as “Agbelebu,” as the party’s candidate for the Lagos State House of Assembly seat representing Agege Constituency I as a true reflection of grassroots democracy.

At the APC secretariat, members of the forum paid homage to party leaders, applauding their role in ensuring what they called a fair and transparent electoral process.

Speaking with journalists during the rally, Abiola expressed gratitude to the party leadership for upholding the outcome of the primary election, noting that it demonstrated a strong commitment to internal democracy.

“The leadership of our great party has shown respect for the wishes of members by standing by the true outcome of the primary election.”

He added that the rally was a symbolic gesture to appreciate the party’s leadership and reaffirm loyalty to its ideals.

Abiola said the support received from party leaders and members would help strengthen unity within the APC and position it for future electoral victories.

He pledged to collaborate with stakeholders, party faithful and residents of Agege Constituency I to advance the party’s programmes and deepen grassroots mobilisation.

The APC candidate also used the occasion to declare support for President Tinubu’s second-term ambition, describing him as a leader who has continued to provide direction for both the party and the country.

According to him, members of the Agbelebu Solidarity Forum would mobilise support for Tinubu and other APC candidates in future elections.

He further reiterated his commitment to party discipline and pledged to contribute to the growth and development of the APC at all levels.

The rally concluded at the APC State Secretariat, where participants renewed their allegiance to the party and pledged continued support for its leadership ahead of upcoming political activities.
