Fresh controversy has emerged within the Lagos State chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC) following reports that Folashade Tinubu-Ojo, the daughter of President Bola Tinubu and the Iyalode General of Nigeria, has threatened to stage a protest over the conduct of the party's primaries in the state.
Dissatisfaction Over Primary Process
The development reportedly followed widespread dissatisfaction among party members regarding the outcome and handling of the APC primary process. Sources within the party confirmed that tensions escalated after complaints surfaced about candidate selection and alleged irregularities during the exercise. These issues have continued to generate reactions from stakeholders and loyalists, deepening the rift within the party.
Internal Disagreements and Growing Concerns
The dispute has further exposed growing concerns and internal disagreements within the Lagos State APC ahead of forthcoming elections. Party members have called for reconciliation and transparency to address the grievances. Despite the tensions, party leaders are expected to continue consultations aimed at resolving the issues and maintaining unity within the ruling party.
The threat of protest by a prominent figure like Tinubu-Ojo underscores the seriousness of the situation, as the party seeks to present a united front in the lead-up to the elections. Observers note that the internal strife could impact the party's performance if not resolved promptly.
