APC Chieftain Urges Unity Amid Primary Disputes

Agboola Adegboyega, a chieftain of the All Progressives Congress (APC), expressed concern over disunity within the party due to disputes arising from recent primary elections. He called on the APC leadership to address genuine complaints from party members to resolve issues amicably, emphasizing that the party's interests should take precedence over individual interests.

Adegboyega's statement, made available to newsmen on Tuesday, highlighted the need for urgent intervention to restore confidence among party faithful ahead of the 2027 general elections. He specifically urged President Bola Ahmed Tinubu and APC National Chairman Professor Nentaw Yilwatda to consider the grievances of aggrieved members, particularly regarding the final list of candidates submitted to the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC).

He warned that the imposition of unpopular candidates could lead to significant defections and loss of support for the APC in the upcoming elections, particularly in states like Kwara, Ogun, and Ondo.
