Fresh political tensions are brewing within the Lagos chapter of the All Progressives Congress as several party stakeholders and grassroots loyalists have reportedly intensified moves against some members of the Lagos State House of Assembly ahead of the 2027 elections.
Investigations by party insiders revealed that many influential APC members remain dissatisfied with the roles allegedly played by some lawmakers during the leadership crisis that rocked the Assembly earlier this year, describing the development as a betrayal of the party’s long-standing political structure and leadership tradition.
Among lawmakers repeatedly mentioned in ongoing political conversations are Desmond Olushola Elliott, Temitope Adewale, Mojisola Lasbat Meranda, Tobun Abiodun and Saheed Wasiu Obafemi, alongside others believed to have aligned against the established leadership direction within the party.
Several APC loyalists argued that the crisis exposed dangerous cracks within the ruling party and embarrassed the state politically at a period when party unity and coordination were expected to remain sacrosanct.
According to stakeholders, the manner the Assembly leadership battle unfolded raised serious concerns about loyalty, political maturity, consultation and respect for party hierarchy, particularly in a state widely regarded as the stronghold of disciplined progressive politics.
