The governor congratulated the APC, its leaders, and its supporters on the results of the state-wide election in a statement released on Sunday.
“I have received with joy and gratitude the news of the resounding victory of our candidates in the local government elections held across Lagos State on Saturday, July 12, 2025,”
“This outcome is a clear affirmation of the trust and confidence that the good people of Lagos have in the APC’s vision, leadership, and unwavering commitment to inclusive development at the grassroots.” Sanwo-Olu stated.
Sanwo-Olu claimed the victory belonged to the state’s citizens while praising the voters for their turnout. “Indeed, this victory belongs to the people of Lagos. It reflects your belief in our shared goals and your support for continuity, progress, and people-centred governance,” he said.
Reminding the elected chairmen and council members that their mandate entails serving all citizens, not just party loyalists, he commended them.
