The Lagos state chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC) has expelled Chief Ganiyu Kolawole Egunjobi and Mr. Azeez Yusuf, following what the party described as anti-party activities, disloyalty to the party and conduct considered inimical to the integrity and discipline of the APC.
The two individuals were said to have contested in the APC primary elections for Agege Constituency I and Agege Constituency II, respectively, in the 2026 Lagos state House of Assembly nomination process, but failed to secure the party’s tickets.
The party in a statement signed by its state chairman, Pastor Cornelius Ojelabi, stated that rather than the two to respect the outcome of the party’s internal democratic process and remain loyal to the party on whose platform they sought election, the two proceeded to obtain tickets from another political party.
Ojelabi said the party views their conduct as a clear repudiation of the obligations of party membership and an unacceptable act of anti-party activity and disloyalty.
“Their purported resignations from the APC are therefore viewed by the party as nothing more than a belated and face-saving attempt to pre-empt the consequences of their actions.
“The party’s position is that membership of the APC cannot be treated as a convenient political garment to be worn during a primary and discarded immediately after an unsuccessful outcome,” the statement reads.
