Lagos APC Stakeholders Challenge Lawmakers Ahead of 2027

Tensions are escalating within the Lagos chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC) as stakeholders intensify efforts against members of the Lagos State House of Assembly in anticipation of the 2027 elections. Influential APC members have expressed dissatisfaction with the lawmakers' roles during a leadership crisis that affected the assembly earlier this year, describing the situation as a betrayal of the party's long-standing political structure and leadership tradition.

Key figures mentioned include Desmond Olushola Elliott, Temitope Adewale, Mojisola Lasbat, Meranda Tobun, and Abiodun Sahe Wasiu Obafemi, who are believed to be aligned against the established leadership. APC loyalists argue that the crisis exposes dangerous cracks within the party, potentially damaging its image.

Despite appeals for leniency towards first-term lawmakers, there is a growing sentiment that those in sensitive leadership positions should prioritize stability over escalating divisions. The upcoming primaries are expected to be a significant test of internal loyalty and the party's long-established political structure.
