Agege APC Split Raises Concerns Over 2027 Election Mobilisation
Tensions are reportedly growing within the APC in Agege over the 2027 Lagos State Assembly race for Agege Constituency I. Some party stakeholders fear that disagreements around Gbenga Abiola’s candidacy could weaken grassroots mobilisation in an area important to the party’s Lagos base. The concerns follow reports that former Agege Local Government chairman Ganiyu Egunjobi has left the APC for the Allied Peoples’ Movement and may contest the same assembly seat. The reported contest between the former council chairman and his former vice-chairman has heightened fears of divided ward-level political structures. Critics question Abiola’s independent support base, while supporters may view the claims as part of an internal power struggle. It remains unclear whether the dispute will affect APC votes in the presidential and governorship elections, as voters may make different choices across the ballot and no polling data has established any likely impact.
