Two aspirants who had previously sought Lagos State House of Assembly seats on the All Progressives Congress (APC) platform defect to the Allied Peoples Movement (APM). Reports say the move follows changes to the APC’s candidate list covering Agege Constituencies I and II ahead of Lagos 2027.
The outlets identify the affected politicians as Kola Egunjobi and Ninolowo. Both had been aspirants on the APC ticket for the Agege constituencies. After the list is adjusted, they shift their political alignment to APM, where they are described as continuing their bid for the Lagos Assembly.
The reporting is aligned on the core facts: the defections involve the same two individuals and are linked to modifications in the APC’s candidate listing for Agege I and II. Differences between outlets are limited to how the story is presented and the level of detail provided about each candidate’s position, but there is no dispute over the defection or the trigger described.
