Ikeja, Lagos state - The Laja Adeoye Campaign Organisation (LACO) held a high-level strategic meeting in Lagos, bringing together its gubernatorial candidate, Laja Adeoye, alongside the party's Senate and House of Representatives candidates.

APM chairmen from all 20 Local Government Areas and 37 Local Council Development Areas (LCDAs) in Lagos state also attended.
According to the statement, the meeting resolved several critical issues and produced key appointments within the party structure.
APM presents united front
Party leaders who spoke after the session insisted that APM in Lagos remains cohesive and committed to its electoral goals.
"APM Lagos remains one strong, united family. The party is fully committed to delivering massive votes for all our candidates, from top to bottom," the statement read.
LACO described the gathering as part of a broader coordination effort designed to tighten the party's operations ahead of the 2027 general elections.
Atunto Eko: The five-pillar vision
Central to the campaign is Prince Adeoye's Atunto Eko agenda, a governance blueprint he described as a reset rather than a continuation of the status quo. The agenda is built around five pillars: Affordable Healthcare, Quality Education, Job Creation through SMEs, Modern Infrastructure, and Security with Community Policing.
Adeoye told party leaders that these pillars would shape every policy decision, appointment, and budget allocation if APM wins the governorship.
"We are not coming to manage Lagos, we are coming to reset it," he said.
The agenda also commits to direct funding for grassroots development, youth technology hubs in every LGA, and cooperative schemes led by women. Party leadership agreed that Senate and House candidates would align their legislative priorities with Atunto Eko to create synergy between federal and state-level representation for Lagos residents.
LACO said the Atunto Eko message would serve as the campaign's central theme, with candidates taking it to Lagosians through town halls and door-to-door outreach across the state. The stated goal is to offer voters a credible alternative built on accountability and inclusive governance.
