This development is said to be as a result of pressures from powerful stakeholders in the party.

Digs by societynowng.com however revealed that this exercise carried out in other constituencies for the benefits of other losers with similar clout has given rise to growing resentment and acrimony amongst the victims and their supporters.
Sources disclosed an underground movement of possible protests votes aimed at showing rejection of the imposed candidates is on.
‘the aggrieved are playing a new brand of protest….they are not moving out of the party, at least for now….they want to clandestinely show Asiwaju he is wrong by working against the foist candidates’ a source divulged.
Insider further disclosed that point men of rival party trying hard to make its presence felt in Lagos in the upcoming general election, People’s Democratic Party (PDP) have started courting the dissident members.
Sources describe the play in motion as very subtle, the PDP men want the angry APC members to stay in place – and work for them in the coming election.
‘specifics of the benefits which are being structured as short and long term, if the plan comes off, are what I can’t really confirm now ‘ a source disclosed.
Further revelations made to societynowng.com have that the ‘arrangement’ only covers the affected areas where winners were forced to step down for losers as ultimate party candidate.
Sources disclosed the angry members refused offers of working to deliver PDP candidate Jimi Agbaje as Governor of the state.
‘they stated their commitment to ensuring Ambode wins…that the arrangement is strictly to show Asiwaju he can’t always eat his cake and have it at the same time….i think they understand the implication of delivering leadership of the state government to a party they are not a member of or about to join…they will always remain fringe players.’ Another source analysed.
