Agege Monarchs Urge Egunjobi and Yusuf to Rejoin APC

Traditional rulers in Agege and Orile-Agege, Lagos State, convened a peace meeting to appeal to former Agege Local Government chairman Ganiyu Egunjobi and Azeez Yusuf to reconsider their recent defection from the All Progressives Congress (APC) to the Allied Peoples Movement. Both Egunjobi and Yusuf are candidates for the Lagos State House of Assembly seats in Agege Constituencies I and II, respectively.

The meeting, which took place on a Sunday, included traditional rulers, representatives from the Christian Association of Nigeria, Muslim clerics, and members of the Arewa community. Oba Ambaliu Agbeleyi, the Alaige of Orile-Agege, expressed concerns over reports of potential violence related to the political situation, emphasizing the need for peace and stability in the community.

Other leaders, including Oba Oyedeji Kamila Ishiba and High Chief Shuaib Ajayi, echoed calls for non-confrontation and support for peaceful coexistence. Religious leaders also committed to praying for peace and urged political leaders to prioritize community welfare over political ambitions.
