E be like say Lagos APC don finally decide to stop dey play hide‑and‑seek with the non‑indigene vote. Sam Egube, the former Commissioner for Local Government wey sabi hustle, just get the chair for the new sub‑committee wey go “mobilise non‑indigene voters” ahead of the 2027 general elections.
What is really happening?
Una notice say the party dey panic because the last few elections show say the indigene bloc no longer fit carry the day alone. The Lagos “Yoruba‑only” narrative is wan fade, and the APC dey try to re‑brand as a pan‑Nigeria platform – but with a Lagos flavour. The question be: na genuine outreach or just another political circus?
| Committee | Chairperson | Core Mission |
|---|---|---|
| Non‑Indigene Mobilisation Sub‑Committee | Sam Egube | Rally non‑indigene residents, trade unions, and diaspora groups in Lagos for 2027 |
From the streets of Agege to the corporate towers of Victoria Island, the team promise to hold town‑hall meetings, road‑shows, and even “cultural nights” where they go dey speak Pidgin and local languages to win hearts. But make we no forget say Lagos is still a political minefield – the indigene elite fit feel threatened, while the non‑indigene masses dey watch with a mix of hope and suspicion.
Why should we trust a party that once promised “no more politics of ethnicity” and then turned Lagos into a Yoruba‑only playground? The answer no simple. If the APC truly want to harness the entrepreneurial spirit of our diverse Lagosians, dem need to show transparent funding, real representation in the committee, and concrete policies that address housing, transport, and job creation for everyone – not just empty slogans.
So, my people, make we keep our eyes open. Is Sam Egube the bridge Lagos needs, or just another bridge to cross over the same old potholes? Share una thoughts, because if we no discuss am now, who go?
