2027: The Progressive Group Backs Tinubu, Knocks ADC Over Alleged Early Campaign Claims Amid Security Concerns
......Lagos APC’s Position Echoed: Governance Is Not a Playground for Internally Displaced Politicians
The Progressive Group has thrown its weight behind the Lagos State Chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC), firmly condemning what it describes as the “baseless and infantile” remarks from the African Democratic Congress (ADC) accusing President Bola Ahmed Tinubu of engaging in early campaign activities.
According to the group, the ADC’s allegations reveal a fundamental misunderstanding of leadership and governance.
“President Tinubu is governing Nigeria, not campaigning,” the group stated, adding that leadership is a language the ADC neither understands nor speaks.

“ADC Lacks Capacity Yet Seeks Relevance” — The Progressive Group
The Progressive Group described the ADC’s posture as political comedy, noting that a party unable to secure a councillorship seat has no moral basis to accuse the President of premature politicking.
“When a party has no structure, no ideas, no national relevance, and no visible future, its only strategy becomes barking at anything that moves just to remain noticed,” the statement read.
The group insisted that the ADC should not mistake its own political obscurity for a national crisis.

On Security: “ADC Should Be Ashamed”
The Progressive Group emphasized that while President Tinubu is:
Deploying more security personnel,
Expanding intelligence capabilities,
Removing long-standing security bottlenecks,
Personally overseeing rescue operations,
And confronting saboteurs with federal resolve,
the ADC is busy weaponizing insecurity to score political points.
“A party that has contributed nothing to national security discourse has no right to feign sudden concern,” the group insisted.
They further noted that during the years of misrule that crippled the country, the ADC’s voice was nowhere to be found.

Governance vs. Campaigns: “Leadership Does Not Pause for Noise-Makers”
The Progressive Group reiterated that Nigeria cannot be placed on pause simply because the ADC demands silence.
“A President must speak, engage, direct, mobilize, and reassure. Only parties addicted to irrelevance confuse leadership engagement with nationwide campaigning.”
They added that President Tinubu will not slow down just to soothe the insecurities of a party whose electoral value, in their words, “cannot fill a classroom.”

Stop Forcing 2027 Into Every Conversation
The group said it finds it laughable that a party currently fighting for survival is the one obsessing over the 2027 elections.
“The APC is governing; the ADC is daydreaming. The difference is clear,” they remarked.

Final Advisory to the ADC
Before making further comments on national issues, The Progressive Group advised the ADC to first:
Win at least one polling unit in Lagos,
Conduct a successful congress without descending into internal chaos,
Demonstrate that it is not built around the ambition of one individual,
Present a credible aspirant who isn’t fleeing from another party,
And earn even a shred of national credibility.
“Until then, the ADC should spare the country its noisy ignorance,” the group said.

Tinubu Remains Focused
The Progressive Group concluded by affirming that President Bola Ahmed Tinubu is unwavering in his mission to stabilize Nigeria’s security architecture and guide the nation through challenges.
“No amount of barking from the ADC will distract or derail his mandate. Nigeria is moving forward—with or without the approval of political spectators.”
The Progressives Group totally aligns and Supports the Position of APC Lagos on the Subject Matter.
