A chieftain of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Kola Pellegrino, has sparked reactions following a strong warning to voters while addressing supporters in Lagos State, urging them to remain loyal to the ruling party.
The remarks were reported by Channels Television, which covered the political gathering where Pellegrino spoke to a crowd on the importance of backing the APC in upcoming elections. The event forms part of ongoing mobilization efforts by party stakeholders in the state.
Addressing the crowd, Pellegrino cautioned residents against voting for opposition parties, insisting that doing so would be a costly political mistake. “If you vote against us, I’m telling you it’s a wasted vote and your conscience will never forgive you,” he declared. His statement drew both applause from supporters at the venue and criticism from some quarters after it circulated more widely.
Pellegrino stressed that the APC has played a major role in sustaining governance and development in Lagos, arguing that continued support is necessary to maintain progress. He suggested that deviating from the party could undermine ongoing efforts and stall future projects aimed at improving residents’ welfare.
However, the comment has generated mixed reactions among political observers and the public. While some APC loyalists interpret his remarks as a passionate call for unity and continuity, critics argue that such statements may appear to discourage political plurality and undermine the spirit of democratic choice.
