The Lagos State chapter of the All Progressives Congress has unveiled its campaign council ahead of the 2027 general elections, with Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu and former governors Babatunde Fashola and Akinwunmi Ambode among those occupying key positions.
The structure was released on Thursday by the Kadri Obafemi Hamzat Media Centre and is expected to be formally inaugurated on Friday, September 18, at the APC Secretariat on ACME Road, Ikeja. Multiple Nigerian news outlets have reported the same structure.
Under the advisory structure, Prince Tajudeen Olusi will serve as Chairman of the Governance Advisory Council, while Sanwo-Olu is listed as Chairman of the Advisory Council. Fashola and Ambode will serve as co-chairmen.
Other members of the advisory structure include Femi Gbajabiamila, Chief of Staff to President Bola Tinubu; Mudashiru Obasa, Speaker of the Lagos State House of Assembly; and former Minister of Health Adeleke Mamora.
At the main campaign council level, Sanwo-Olu will serve as Chairman, while his deputy, Kadri Obafemi Hamzat, will serve as Deputy Chairman.
The council lists Ojelabi Cornelius as Vice Chairman I, Obasa as Vice Chairman II and Damilola Sonayon James as Vice Chairman III.
Former Senator Musiliu Obanikoro has been appointed Director-General, with Rasaq Ajala as Deputy Director-General and Adekunle Olayinka as Campaign Secretary.
The campaign structure includes several directorates and sub-committees covering areas such as legal and compliance, party and inter-party affairs, administration and logistics, traditional institutions, diaspora engagement and residents’ associations.
The party has also incorporated an Entertainment and Creative Economy Directorate, with prominent entertainers including veteran actor Jide Kosoko, Fuji musicians Pasuma, Obesere and Adewale Ayuba, and actresses Toyin Abraham-Ajeyemi, Eniola Badmus and Bimbo Akintola listed among its members.
The development comes as political parties intensify preparations for the 2027 general elections, with the Lagos APC now establishing its organisational structure for the coming campaign period.
The formal inauguration of the council is scheduled for Friday, September 18, 2026, at the party’s state secretariat in Ikeja.
