Lagos APC expels ex-Agege chairman, aspirant over defection to APM

The Lagos State chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC) has expelled two former members, Ganiyu Egunjobi and Azeez Yusuf, for defecting to the Allied Peoples Movement (APM) after losing APC primaries. The expulsion was announced by the state APC Chairman, Cornelius Ojelabi, in a Facebook post, accusing the two of anti-party activities and disloyalty.

Ojelabi stated that the APC views their conduct as a clear repudiation of membership obligations and an unacceptable act of anti-party activity. The expulsion comes after Egunjobi and Yusuf contested the primaries for Agege Constituencies I and II, respectively, but failed to secure the party’s tickets before obtaining tickets from the APM.
