Alimosho APC Appeals to President Tinubu Over Alleged High-Level Plots to Overturn Democratic Primary Results

LAGOS — Aggrieved stakeholders and grassroots members of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in the Alimosho Federal Constituency have issued an urgent, high-stakes appeal to President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, calling for immediate executive intervention to block an alleged conspiracy by regional party elites to subvert and overturn the authentic outcomes of the recently concluded internal party primaries. Gathering at a heavily attended press conference and solidarity rally in the commercial capital, party loyalists warned that backroom maneuvers to manipulate the declared winners' list threaten to trigger a massive intra-party crisis and completely destabilize the ruling coalition's strongest voting bloc in Lagos State.

The political standoff erupts at a highly sensitive moment as political parties structure their internal alignments ahead of future legislative and municipal cycles. Representatives from the Alimosho APC defense coalition stated that the primary election followed strict statutory regulations, producing clear, indisputable winners backed by popular grassroots consensus. However, the group alleged that a powerful faction within the state’s executive hierarchy is actively exerting undue pressure on collation officials to retroactively distort the tallies and substitute the authentic flagbearers with handpicked, unpopular candidates. Labeling the alleged scheme a direct assault on internal party democracy, the stakeholders urged President Tinubu, historically recognized as the chief architect of modern Lagos progressive politics, to assert his leadership as the ultimate democratic arbitrator, protect the sanctity of the ballot, and ensure that the sovereign choices of Alimosho's progressive delegates are not administratively erased.
