The Lagos State chapter of the All Progressives Congress has expelled two members, identified as Egunjobi and Yusuf, over allegations of anti-party activities as political organisations intensify internal preparations ahead of the 2027 elections.
The disciplinary action was reported among Lagos political developments on Thursday. The allegation of anti-party activity is the APC’s stated reason for the decision and should not be treated independently as an established finding beyond the party process.
The development comes as political parties across Nigeria begin reorganising internal structures, managing disputes and positioning prospective candidates for the next general elections.
Lagos Remains Important to APC
Lagos occupies an important position within the APC’s national political structure.
The party and its political predecessors have controlled the state government since Nigeria’s return to civilian government in 1999.
As a result, disputes within the Lagos chapter can attract attention beyond individual local government areas or constituencies.
Political parties frequently use disciplinary processes to address conduct they consider inconsistent with party rules, although such decisions can also generate internal disagreements or appeals.
2027 Positioning Accelerates
Political activity across the country is expected to intensify as the election cycle advances.
The Guardian’s politics coverage on Thursday also highlighted wider coalition activity, disputes within parties and preparations by INEC and security agencies for 2027.
For the Lagos APC, maintaining internal cohesion will be important as the party prepares for contests at federal and state levels.
Further details about the specific conduct underlying the disciplinary action and any response from the affected members would be necessary for a fuller account of the dispute.
