A former member of the Lagos State House of Assembly from Alimosho Constituency 1, Hon. Bisi Yusuf, on Sunday, said the All Progressives Congress (APC) has nurtured a political family with the grassroots politics by reaching a consensus for their candidates ahead of the 2027 general elections.

Yusuf made this firm remark during a meeting of the members of the party in Alimosho Federal Constituency.

The former lawmaker, a Director General of the Grassroots Movement for Tinubu 2027 (GMT), said, “I have always believed that Alimosho is not just a political constituency; it is a living political organism whose strength lies in unity, discipline, and loyalty to the progressive ideals that built Lagos State.

“When Alimosho speaks with one voice, Lagos listens; when Lagos stands firm, Nigeria moves forward, that’s why we have collectively endorsed consensus candidates for the 2027 elections, beginning with the re-election of our leader and President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, Bola Ahmed Tinubu,” he said.

Yusuf added that Tinubu’s leadership continued to embody the progressive philosophy that transformed Lagos and now seeking to reposition the country.

He said that at the state level, the Alimosho constituents have thrown their support behind the Deputy Governor of the state, Dr Obafemi Hamzat, saying that his loyalty, competence, and administrative depth made him well positioned to continue the progressive legacy in Lagos.

Yusuf said that Alimosho Federal Constituency has also aligned with strong and credible candidates who understand the responsibility of representing the aspirations of the people.

He said that these included Hon. Ganiyu Adele Ayuba for the House of Representatives, Hon. Luqman Orelope for LAHA Alimosho Constituency I and Hon. Kehinde Joseph for LAHA Alimosho Constituency II.

“Over the years, we have nurtured a political family here one that grew from the vision of Bola Tinubu and expanded through generations of progressive leaders who understand that Alimosho is central to the stability and future of Lagos politics.

“Recently, I had the privilege of joining my dear sister and co-leader, a former Lagos Deputy Governor, Adejoke Orelope-Adefulire, a strong member of the Governance Advisory Council in Lagos alongside other party elders and stakeholders, to convene a crucial meeting of leaders of the APC in Alimosho Federal Constituency.

“The objective was simple, but profound: to confront our past honestly, mend the cracks that once weakened our collective strength, and chart a decisive path toward 2027,” he said.

The former lawmaker said that as someone who has walked the political streets of Alimosho for decades, he understood that every political family occasionally faces internal tremors.

He said that those tremors, if not addressed with sincerity and courage, could widen into cracks.

“In the past electoral cycle, those cracks became visible. Differences of opinion, competing ambitions, and moments of misalignment tested the cohesion that had long defined Alimosho.

“But leadership is not measured by the absence of challenges; it is measured by the ability to confront them and rebuild stronger foundations.

“From the conversations held across wards, local governments, and party structures, one truth became clear: the people of Alimosho desire unity more than anything else,” he said.

The GMT Director said that the type of leadership Alimosho wanted is a leader that rises above personal interests and protects the collective political heritage that the people inherited.

According to him, “.that is why our recent gathering was not merely a meeting; it was a moment of political recalibration.

“Together, we resolved that the unity of Alimosho is non-negotiable.

“This resolution did not emerge from convenience, it emerged from experience.

“We examined the fractures that had appeared within our structure and agreed that the future of Alimosho requires deliberate reconciliation, deeper consultation, and disciplined alignment with the progressive ideology that defines Lagos State,” the party leader said.

Yusuf also added that the leaders’ commitment was to rebuild Alimosho into an even stronger political fortress—one that reflected the spirit of loyalty, organisation, and grassroots strength that has always distinguished Alimosho constituency.

He noted that Alimosho remains the largest voting bloc in Lagos State saying that its voice carries weight, not only within Lagos, but within the national political landscape.
