APC members protest in Lagos, demand removal of state chairman

Scores of members of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Lagos State staged a protest on Monday at the Lagos State House of Assembly complex, demanding the immediate removal of the party’s state chairman, Pastor Cornelius Ojelabi.

The protesters, who claimed to represent the 57 Local Council Development Areas (LCDAs) across the state, carried placards with inscriptions such as “Ojelabi Must Go” and “We Demand New Leadership.” They expressed frustration with the current party leadership, calling for a complete overhaul of the APC state structure ahead of future political engagements.

A significant police presence was deployed to the scene to maintain order and ensure the protest remained peaceful.

As of press time, neither the Lagos State House of Assembly nor the APC state leadership had issued any official statement in response to the demonstration.
