The Allied People’s Movement (APM), Lagos State, heartily congratulates Mrs Kemi Adenuga on her emergence as the party’s Deputy Governorship Candidate ahead of the 2027 Lagos State Governorship Election.
Her emergence marks an important milestone in our collective journey towards building a more inclusive, responsive, and people-centred Lagos State. We welcome her to this important responsibility and acknowledge the values, cultural heritage, and perspectives she brings to the APM governorship ticket.
Mrs Kemi Adenuga is a proud daughter of Lagos, with deep ancestral roots on Lagos Island, specifically from Iga Eletu Ijebu and the Faro family. Her heritage connects her to the historical and cultural foundations of Lagos, a city whose identity has been shaped by its indigenous communities, rich traditions, commerce, and longstanding spirit of enterprise.
At a time when conversations about Lagos governance must embrace the history, identity, and aspirations of its people, Mrs Adenuga’s roots represent an important part of the story of Lagos. Her emergence provides an opportunity to reaffirm the importance of recognising indigenous heritage while building a state in which every resident, regardless of origin or background, has a genuine opportunity to prosper.
The APM believes that leadership must be grounded in an understanding of the people, their history, their challenges, and their hopes for the future. Mrs Adenuga’s background, combined with the personal values and experience she brings to public service, gives her a distinctive perspective to contribute to the responsibilities of the deputy governorship position.
We consider her emergence a meaningful addition to our team and believe she is well suited to complement the vision of our governorship candidate, Prince Laja Adeoye, as we present our Atunto Eko agenda to Lagosians.
The APM governorship ticket is committed to advancing a governance model that prioritises security, affordable housing, quality education, accessible healthcare, economic opportunities, and improved welfare for residents across Lagos State. We expect Mrs Adenuga to contribute meaningfully to these objectives through constructive engagement, inclusive leadership, and a commitment to the public interest.
Beyond her ancestral connections, her presence on the ticket underscores the importance of women’s participation in leadership and the need for a political process that draws on the talents, experiences, and contributions of people from different backgrounds.
We are confident that her participation will strengthen our engagement with communities across Lagos, particularly in advancing conversations about cultural heritage, family welfare, women’s development, youth opportunities, and grassroots inclusion.
As we look towards 2027, the APM calls on party members, supporters, and stakeholders across the 20 Local Government Areas and 37 Local Council Development Areas to welcome Mrs Adenuga and work collectively towards presenting the party’s vision to the people.
We congratulate her once again on her emergence and wish her wisdom, courage, and success as she joins Prince Laja Adeoye and the entire APM family in the task of offering Lagosians a programme of governance centred on accountability, opportunity, and human development.
Lagos is more than a geographical location; it is a heritage, a history, and a shared responsibility. With Mrs Kemi Adenuga bringing her Lagos Island roots and experience to the ticket, the APM reaffirms its commitment to a Lagos that respects its heritage while creating opportunities for all.
Nigeria First. Atunto Eko!
