APC Primaries Crisis in Lagos: Protests Rock Agege I and Somolu II
A routine post-primary reconciliation within the Lagos APC has spiraled into a fierce dispute over the House of Assembly tickets for Agege Constituency I and Somolu Constituency II. Hundreds of aggrieved members have protested at the party secretariat, insisting the published candidates did not reflect their primary votes. Agege demonstrators have rallied behind Hon. Kolawole Egunjobi, widely seen as aligned with Speaker Mudashiru Obasa, while Somolu supporters back Samuel Apata and former ALGON president Kolade Alabi. Protesters wore branded caps and carried banners to signal their affiliations. Critics argue these protests go beyond electoral grievances and represent a power struggle for grassroots control. Many view the actions as undermining calls for unity by President Bola Tinubu and Lagos APC leaders. As the standoff continues, party faithful wonder who will step in to restore calm. The outcome could determine not only the fate of the tickets but the future cohesion and credibility of Lagos APC.
