Lagos Lawmaker Apata Appeals to Tinubu Over APC Primary Ticket Denial

Apata highlighted his developmental achievements in Bariga, including the rehabilitation of Ariyo and Grace streets, as well as the construction and renovation of six schools within his constituency. He argued that his three years in the legislature have strengthened his ability to serve constituents effectively and position him to deliver even greater results if given another term. The lawmaker stressed that his experience and dedication to public service make him the most suitable candidate to represent the people of Somolu Constituency II in the next legislative session.

Despite the controversy, Apata reaffirmed his support for President Tinubu’s administration and pledged to continue working for the party’s success. He expressed hope that the APC leadership would address the primary election irregularities transparently and in accordance with party rules. His appeal underscores growing concerns within the party about transparency and fairness in internal elections, especially as the 2027 general elections draw closer. The outcome of this matter could influence party unity and voter confidence in the APC’s credibility across Lagos State.
