According to him, the campaign is a bold target of delivering three million votes for President Bola Tinubu in Lagos State in next general elections.
“This campaign emphasis unity, reconciliation, and grassroots canvassing across all communities in 20 Local Government and 37 Local Council Development Area (LCDA) in the state.
“Our target this time around is to secure three million votes for president Tinubu in Lagos during the 2027 presidential election.
“That’s why we are appealing to the party leaders, APC members, stakeholders to get ready for the elections and prepare with their Permanent Voter Cards (PVCs) to cast their votes for president Tinubu in 2027.
“We are back stronger together in Lagos to reconcile party members, tribal differences as we are all one and unite to cast our vote for president Tinubu,” Obanikoro said.

“Our last election in Lagos, if I can remember, only 28 per cent, of registered voters voted in that election and there were over six million registered voters in the state.
