Ex-Lagos LG chair, aspirant fault APC expulsion

Former Agege Local Government Chairman Ganiyu Egunjobi and former Agege Constituency II aspirant Azeez Yusuf have resigned from the All Progressives Congress (APC) in July, weeks before the Lagos State chapter announced their expulsion in September. The duo stated this in a statement, disputing the party's expulsion citing their resignation and defection to the Allied Peoples Movement (APM).

Egunjobi and Yusuf claimed they made their decision to leave the APC following alleged anti-party activities and disloyalty, and they left the party before the announcement. The APC chairman, Cornelius Ojelabi, announced their expulsion on September 23, citing their conduct as an act of anti-party activity and disloyalty. The duo argued that the announcement was an attempt to rewrite their political history and questioned the respect for internal democracy, due process, and the right of party members to make legitimate political choices.
