Supporters of Mr Gbenga Abiola, popularly known as Agbelebu, an aspirant in the All Progressives Congress (APC) Lagos State House of Assembly primary for Agege Constituency I, have rejected purported results of Wednesday’s exercise circulating online.
The supporters, under the aegis of Agbelebu Solidarity Forum, described the results as fake and forged, insisting that no valid election was conducted across the approved centres in the constituency.
Abiola, the immediate past Vice Chairman of Agege Local Government, former Sole Administrator of the council and former Secretary to the local government, was contesting for the APC ticket for Agege Constituency I against the former Chairman, Mr Abduganiyu Egunjobi, under whom he served.
Both leaders were jostling to replace their mentor and Speaker of the Lagos State House of Assembly Mr Mudashiru Obasa, a sixth-term lawmaker, who had secured the APC House of Representatives ticket for Agege Federal Constituency.
In a statement signed by the Director-General of the forum, Dr Jamiu Ademosu, on Wednesday in Lagos, the group alleged that what transpired across the wards were acts of intimidation and harassment.
