Two prominent figures in Lagos State's Agege Local Government, Alhaji Ganiyu Kola Egunjobi and Azeez Oladapo Yusuf, have left the All Progressives Congress (APC) and joined the Allied Peoples Movement (APM), contesting as their respective candidates. They dismissed rumors connecting their defection to Speaker of the Lagos State House of Assembly, Rt.
Hon. Mudasiru Obasa, stating it was their personal choice and not influenced by any political figure. Both Egunjobi and Yusuf had expressed dissatisfaction with the primary process, claiming that they were unfairly denied the party tickets in the APC primaries. They alleged that their grievances were ignored, and no reconciliation efforts were made by the party leadership despite their petitions.
They questioned the assertion that their decision to leave was influenced by President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, viewing it as an attempt to divert attention from the actual issues at hand.
