APC Primary Crisis: Stakeholders Push for Ebute Metta West Candidate as Animashahun Gains Support

 


Fresh indications have emerged that key stakeholders within the All Progressives Congress (APC) may consider zoning the Lagos Mainland Federal Constituency House of Representatives ticket to Ebute Metta West following the crisis that trailed the party’s disrupted primary election.

The controversial primary, which was reportedly marred by disagreements and confusion in parts of the constituency, has continued to generate reactions among party members and supporters, raising concerns over unity within the APC fold ahead of the next electoral phase.

Sources within the party revealed that prominent APC leaders in Lagos State, alongside national stakeholders, have intensified consultations over possible solutions capable of restoring stability and cohesion within the constituency.

As discussions continue behind closed doors, the idea of zoning the House of Representatives ticket to Ebute Metta West is said to be gaining momentum among party leaders seeking political balance and inclusiveness.

Party faithful backing the move argued that Ebute Metta West has remained politically marginalized for years despite its significant contributions to the electoral success and grassroots structure of the APC in Lagos Mainland Federal Constituency.

According to sources familiar with the consultations, some party leaders believe that allowing Ebute Metta West to produce the APC candidate could help address lingering grievances, ease tensions arising from the disputed primary, and strengthen internal unity within the constituency.

The development has also intensified calls for the APC leadership to intervene decisively in resolving disputes linked to the primary election in order to prevent a prolonged internal crisis.

Political observers believe that the involvement of APC state leaders and national figures could ultimately determine the direction the party takes in Lagos Mainland as stakeholder consultations continue.

There are also indications that loyalists of Bola Ahmed Tinubu within the constituency are closely monitoring developments as pressure mounts for a political arrangement capable of fostering stability, fairness, and inclusiveness within the party.

Although the APC has yet to officially announce any zoning decision or consensus arrangement, consultations among ward leaders, party stakeholders, and influential party figures were said to have intensified in the aftermath of the disrupted primary.

Meanwhile, supporters of Prince Abdulhakeem Omolaja Animashahun from Ebute Metta West have continued grassroots mobilization and political consultations, insisting that the constituency needs a solution that will strengthen party unity and address years of perceived political imbalance within the Lagos Mainland APC structure.
