Lagos APC Stakeholders Demand Noheem Adams' Ticket Return

A crisis has emerged within the Lagos State chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC) as stakeholders from Eti-Osa Constituency I are demanding the reinstatement of Noheem Adams as the party's candidate. This demand was made during a press conference where party elders, ward executives, and grassroots members expressed dissatisfaction over the alleged suppression of the results from the APC primary election held on May 20, 2026.

Taiwo Jegede Jacob, the APC Apex Leader in Eti-Osa, stated that Adams received 7,638 votes compared to his opponent's 1,225 votes, indicating a clear preference among party members. The stakeholders warned that ignoring these results could undermine the party's internal democracy and electoral prospects.

They called on President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, APC National Chairman Professor Nentawe Yilwatda, and Lagos State Chairman Pastor Cornelius Ojelabi to intervene. The group also urged the implementation of the APC Reconciliation Committee's recommendations, which included restoring Adams' ticket to prevent further discord ahead of the elections.
