Former Lagos State governorship candidate, Funso Doherty, has formally declared his intention to contest the 2027 governorship election, vowing to unseat the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC).
Speaking on Silverbird Television on Thursday, Doherty dismissed the perception that Lagos is an unshakable APC stronghold, citing the 2023 presidential election as proof that political dominance in the state can be challenged.
“In the last presidential election, who won Lagos? APC lost Lagos — that’s a fact,” he said.
“The notion that Lagos is permanently tied to the APC is fundamentally flawed.”

By Unlimiting Power of God, Every Dream materialized.
Doherty confirmed that he will be running under the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), saying:
“By the grace of God, I will be in the race in 2027 — absolutely with the PDP.”
He stressed that the people of Lagos, not political structures, will ultimately decide who governs the state.
“In 2027, it will come down to whether people see a strong alternative and what their options are. The people will decide,” he added.
On national issues, the PDP hopeful criticised the APC-led federal government, accusing it of worsening economic hardship and deepening ethnic divisions across the country.
“We are more divided today than ever,” he said. “Ethnic tensions are higher, and in terms of education, health, and income levels, Nigerians are in a very difficult place.”
Calling for credible elections, Doherty urged the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to strictly adhere to its own guidelines ahead of 2027.
“People are looking for an INEC that will follow its own rules. Even without amendments to the Electoral Act, we must at least implement the one we have faithfully,” he said.
He expressed optimism that massive voter participation could still ensure fair outcomes despite flaws in the system.
“If 80 percent of the people come out and say, ‘This is who we want,’ that person will prevail. We must move beyond a system where citizens have to scream for their votes to count,” Doherty concluded.
