Ogbara Calls for Calm Amid APC Primary Controversy

Kafilat Ogbara, the lawmaker representing Kosofe Federal Constituency, has urged restraint among party members amid the ongoing controversy surrounding the All Progressives Congress (APC) primary elections. Ogbara, who chairs the House Committee on Women Affairs and Social Development, dismissed claims made by rival aspirant Dele Oshinowo, who described the declaration of results as unofficial and lacking constitutional backing.

Ogbara emphasized the importance of adhering to party protocols and maintaining peace within the constituency as they await the formal announcement from the APC national secretariat in Abuja. The Kosofe primary has attracted significant attention within Lagos APC circles, with stakeholders questioning the conduct and outcome of the exercise due to allegations of procedural irregularities.

Ogbara's camp maintains that declarations made outside the party's national structure are non-binding. She remains focused on her legislative duties and her re-election bid, emphasizing her commitment to delivering democratic dividends to her constituents.
