APM Lagos Elects New State Executive Committee, Retains Shakirat Adeyemo as Chairman

Lagos, Nigeria – May 25, 2026

The Lagos State Chapter of the Allied Peoples Movement (APM) has elected a new State Executive Committee, re-electing Shakirat Adeyemo as State Chairman and appointing Abiodun Abari as the new State Secretary.

Abari will be supported by Halima Abdulrafiu as Assistant Secretary. The election was held on Monday at the ECWA Multipurpose Hall on Montgomery Road, Yaba, under the supervision of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) and with adequate security to ensure a smooth and peaceful process.

Other members of the newly elected State Executive Committee are Gabriel Iwatamaye – Deputy State Chairman,  
Akeem Kolapo – State Organizing Secretary,  
Ayodele Kazeem – State Publicity Secretary,  
Tajudeen Olalekan – State Treasurer,  
Aminat Yusuf – State Woman Leader,  
Zainab Adeyemo – State Youth Leader, and  
Barr. Caroline K. Ademiro – State Legal Adviser amongst others.

At the zonal level, Alhaji Tajudeen Oyinloye was elected Vice Chairman for Lagos Central, Chief Nurudeen Awolumate for Lagos West, and Segun Okutade for Lagos East.

The State Congress followed successful Local Government Area (LGA) congresses held across all 20 LGAs in Lagos, all duly monitored by INEC. The newly elected State Executive Committee members were immediately sworn in after taking the oath of allegiance to the party and the Federal Republic of Nigeria.

Reacting to the outcome, APM Lagos Governorship Candidate, Prince Laja Adeoye, congratulated the new executive and urged them to discharge their duties with integrity, dedication, and the fear of God. “Lagos is winnable,” Adeoye declared. “All hands must be on deck as we prepare for the 2027 general elections.”He expressed satisfaction with the smooth and peaceful conduct of the Congress and voiced strong optimism ahead of the Candidate primaries and consensus affirmations scheduled for Thursday this week.

Adeoye commended the national leadership of the party under Yusuf Mamman Dantalle, as well as APM governors, notably Engineer Seyi Makinde of Oyo State who is  the party’s Presidential Candidate, and Senator Bala Mohammed of Bauchi State, for their unwavering commitment to principled opposition politics at a time when others opted for the ruling APC.

He expressed confidence that the new leadership will galvanize support across Lagos State and deliver strong electoral performance for the APM both in Lagos and across Nigeria in 2027.
