Senator Idiat Adebule has emerged as the All Progressives Congress (APC) candidate for the Lagos West Senatorial District ahead of the 2027 general elections.

Adebule, the incumbent senator representing Lagos West, was affirmed unopposed during the APC senatorial primary held at Agege Stadium in Lagos.

The News Agency of Nigeria reports that she secured affirmation votes from delegates and party members across the 11 wards in Agege Local Government Area.

Speaking after the exercise, the Returning Officer for the primary election,  Olugbenga Nola, said Adebule emerged through the APC direct primary system as the sole aspirant for the senatorial ticket.

According to him, the process was peaceful, transparent and reflected unity within the party.

Also speaking, former Chairman of Agege Local Government,  Ganiyu Egunjobi, commended party members and constituents for the orderly conduct of the exercise.

Egunjobi, who is also contesting for the Lagos State House of Assembly seat for Agege Constituency I, described Adebule’s emergence as a sign of peaceful coexistence among APC members in the area.

“Agege is like one big political family, and that is why our primary elections have been peaceful and successful.

“We congratulate Senator Adebule on her emergence and wish her success in the general elections,” he said.

Meanwhile, APC stakeholders in the district said the primary reflected unity, internal consensus and strong grassroots mobilisation within the district.

A member representing Ifako-Ijaiye Constituency, Benjamin Olabinjo, commended party members for participating peacefully in the exercise and urged them to sustain the same conduct during future party primaries.

He said the process was smooth due to consensus arrangements within the party, noting that the absence of opposition contributed to the orderly conduct of the exercise.

Also, the Executive Chairman of Ojokoro Local Council Development Area (LCDA),  Adenike Rosiji, said the peaceful atmosphere reflected the level of acceptance enjoyed by the senatorial candidate within the party.

Rosiji, a lawyer, said the absence of opposition followed extensive consultations and internal engagement that strengthened unity within the district.

Another stakeholder, the Deputy Chairman of APC in Ifako-Ijaiye,  Gbenga Agoye, who monitored the accreditation process, said officials ensured compliance with due process during the exercise.

He said accreditation and counting were conducted in line with laid-down procedures.
