Why There Are Increased Activities Within Lagos APC
“This has led to a flurry of activity”
Political maneuvering is intensifying within the Lagos State chapter of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), insiders say, ahead of the party’s upcoming congress.
Sources reveal that the congress has been informally scheduled for December, towards the end of the year.
Party congresses are critical events where delegates elect leadership positions, determine zoning arrangements, and shape candidate selection, giving winners significant influence over party structures and future political direction.
“This has led to a flurry of activity by those seeking to retain control and by others aiming to upstage them,” a party source said.
Influence within Lagos APC carries immense weight, as the state is the political stronghold of President Bola Tinubu. Securing key positions in the congress can translate into strategic advantages, including control over party structures, access to key political networks, and enhanced clout ahead of upcoming elections.
