In the wake of contentious primaries for the All Progressives Congress in Kosofe, lawmaker Kafilat Ogbara has urged party members to maintain composure and follow established protocols. The primaries, marred by allegations of irregularities and disenfranchisement, have sparked tensions among party factions, threatening the APC's unity ahead of the upcoming elections.
Ogbara, who also chairs the House Committee on Women, emphasized the importance of resolving disputes through dialogue. “We must prioritize the party’s integrity and ensure that every member feels heard and respected,” she stated, advocating for a peaceful resolution to the conflicts. This call for unity reflects broader concerns within the APC, as internal divisions could hinder their electoral prospects.
As the party navigates these challenges, the focus now shifts to how leadership will address grievances and restore trust among constituents. With the election cycle intensifying, the ability of the APC to present a cohesive front will be critical in maintaining voter support. The outcome of this internal strife will not only shape the future of the local party structure but could also have implications for the national political landscape.
