As alignments continue to shape the political landscape ahead of the 2027 general elections, standard-bearers within the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) are highlighting the need for absolute loyalty and deep grassroots connectivity. Frontlining this narrative is Hon. Zansi Omolara Samuel, a consummate mobilizer and political force, whose bid for the Deputy Gubernatorial ticket has sent waves of excitement through party faithful across the state.
Hon. Zansi’s political trajectory is a masterclass in progressive party loyalty. Unlike political opportunists, she is an institutional memory bank of the party’s evolution. Having joined the progressive fold during the Alliance for Democracy (AD) era, she remained a card-carrying member through the transition to Action Congress (AC) and served as an active delegate during the historic congress that birthed the Action Congress of Nigeria (ACN) before its ultimate consolidation into the APC.
“Hon. Zansi is a verified progressive foot soldier,” a party chieftain remarked in Ikeja. “From serving as an unyielding mobilizer to her strategic roles under former Governor Akinwunmi Ambode in 2015 where she worked across the three local governments in Badagry, to her full-throttle participation in the Independent Campaign Group (ICG) in Ikeja that delivered the current administration in 2019 and 2023, she has consistently proven that her loyalty is absolute.”
With party stakeholders seeking a running mate who commands genuine organic followership and possesses an unblemished record of progressive service, Hon. Zansi Omolara Samuel stands out as the ultimate unifying bridge between the party’s historical roots and its future governance objectives.
