Some members of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Lagos State, under the umbrella of the APC Alimosho Federal Constituency Synergy Group, AFCSG, on Thursday, rejected the candidates’ list released by the leadership of the party, insisting that the incumbent lawmaker, Mr Ganiyu Ayuba, won the House of Representatives primary election held on May 16, 2026.

Speaking at a press conference in Lagos on Thursday, the Coordinator of the group, Idowu Martins, urged President Bola Tinubu to intervene and ensure that Ayuba’s mandate is restored.

Martins said Ayuba scored 31,021 votes and was declared winner at the collation centre, while the first runner-up, Olabisi Adebajo, polled 2,739 votes.
