President Bola Tinubu’s daughter, the Iyaloja-General of Nigeria, Mrs Folashade Tinubu-Ojo, on Wednesday threatened a protest over the outcome of the recently held All Progressives Congress primaries in Lagos State, alleging that the process was skewed in favour of the party’s Justice Forum bloc.
Tinubu-Ojo, who spoke during the weekly meeting of market leaders and stakeholders at her office in Alausa, Ikeja, particularly claimed that the results published by the Lagos APC for Mushin Federal Constituency 2, Agege Constituency 2 and Ojokoro constituencies were skewed.
The Lagos State chapter of the APC had on Monday released the list of candidates who emerged from its House of Representatives and State House of Assembly primaries ahead of the 2027 general elections.
The list, signed by the Lagos APC Chairman, Cornelius Ojelabi, showed that 24 candidates emerged for the House of Representatives tickets, while 40 candidates secured the party’s tickets for the Lagos State House of Assembly.
For the Lagos State House of Assembly, candidates such as Mojisola Meranda (Apapa I), Musibau Lawal (Apapa II), Barakat Bakare-Odunuga (Surulere I), Damilola Ayinde-Marshall (Surulere II), and others emerged victorious across the 40 constituencies.
Tinubu-Ojo urged APC leaders at both state and national levels to urgently investigate the disputed primaries before final ratification of the results, warning that failure to act could deepen internal tensions within the ruling party.
She specifically cited alleged victories of some candidates, including Hon. Seye Oladejo in Mushin Constituency 2, Mutiu Olaide Oladeebo in Agege 2, and Olotu Ojo in Ojokoro, insisting their mandates should not be altered.
