Ahead of the primaries scheduled by All Progressives Congress (APC) for the 2027 election, leaders in Eti-Osa, Lagos, have endorsed a lawmaker, Noheem Adams, as consensus candidate of Lagos State House of Assembly.
Adams, representing Eti-Osa Constituency 1, is the Majority Leader of Lagos Assembly.
In three letters addressed to the APC secretariat and leadership of the party in Lagos, the leaders and residents indicated their trust in the lawmaker’s ability to galvanise residents for success.
They also affirmed what they described as his effective representation and loyalty to the party and people of his constituency.
One of the letters dated March 26, 2026 and signed by 26 leaders, including Murphy Adetoro (member, Governance Advisory Council) and Alhaji Raheem Alli, Apex Leader, Eti-Osa East LCDA, notified the party that Adams had been unanimously picked as the consensus candidate for the constituency.
In the letter with the title: ‘Notification On Our Consensus Candidate In Eti-osa Constituency I’, the leaders said: “We, the combined body of the All Progressives Congress, Central Working Committee, (CWC) and Apex Leaders in Eti-Osa Constituency I, are pleased to notify you of our consensus candidate for the 2027 Lagos State House of Assembly elections in Eti-Osa Constituency I.
“It is instructive that after careful deliberation and review of his performance in office, we have unanimously endorsed Noheem Babatunde Adams as our candidate.”

In another letter to the Lagos APC chairman, the association promised to ensure massive votes for the party because of their support for Adams, who had been a pillar of support to the residents.
