In a significant turn of events for the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Lagos, supporters of Mr. Gbenga Abiola, known as Agbelebu, are contesting the legitimacy of the primary elections for Agege Constituency I. They argue that the process was marred by irregularities, casting doubt on the validity of the results announced by the party. This development comes amidst heightened political tensions as various factions within the APC vie for influence ahead of the upcoming elections.
The supporters have voiced their concerns over alleged lack of transparency and fairness during the primary, claiming that the procedures were not adhered to. "We cannot accept results that do not reflect the will of the people. We demand a credible process," stated a leading supporter, emphasizing the call for a reevaluation of the primary results.
As the APC prepares for the general elections, this dispute highlights the fractures within the party and may impact its electoral prospects. The outcome of this conflict could shape the political landscape in Lagos, signaling whether the APC can maintain its dominance amid internal dissent.
