The Lagos State chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC) expels former Agege Local Government chairman Ganiyu Egunjobi and aspirant Azeez Yusuf for alleged anti-party activities after they move to the Allied Peoples Movement (APM). Multiple outlets report the party discipline follows their emergence as APM candidates after losing APC primaries for Lagos State House of Assembly nomination.
APC officials describe the action as a breach of party rules and loyalty expectations, saying members should accept primary outcomes or seek redress through established internal channels rather than obtaining tickets from another party during the same electoral cycle. The party cites provisions of its constitution and declares both individuals no longer APC members.
Egunjobi and Yusuf dispute the expulsion. One outlet reports they fault the decision and say they had resigned from the APC weeks earlier, raising questions about the timing and basis of the disciplinary action. The accounts broadly agree on the key sequence of events—APC primary loss, subsequent APM ticket, and later expulsion—while differing on the defendants’ justification.
