The leaders of the All Progressives Congress, APC Agege and Orile-Agege chapters in Lagos, have pushed back at claims that chairmanship and councillorship candidates of the party in their areas for the forthcoming council polls in the state scheduled for July 12, 2025 were imposed.
The party primaries for all 20 local government areas and 37 local council development areas in respect of chairmanship and councillorship were held on Saturday, May 10, 2025 at the party’s state secretariat.
Based on delegate voting and consensus, not few of the results of the exercises released by the Election Committee chaired by Babatunde Ogala in which the party chairmanship candidates in all the councils except Yaba LCDA and Mainland LCDA were named have been engulfed in controversies that border on alleged impositions and claims that the election processes were flawed, skewed in favour of some aspirants and arranged to achieve predetermined ends.
Agege and Orile-Agege where Alhaji Tunde Azeez and Idowu Akinola emerged as the ruling party chairmanship candidates respectively have their share of the imposition claim.
