Lagos APC Primaries: Taiwo Oyekan Emerges Chairmanship Candidate in Lagos-Island LGA
THECONSCIENCE NG reports that Prince Taiwo Ajibade Oyekan has emerged as the All Progressives Congress (APC) candidate for the position of Chairman of the Lagos Island Local Government Area ahead of the upcoming local government elections scheduled for 12th July 2025.
On Saturday, May 10, the Lagos APC conducted its primary election for councillorship and local government chairman positions across the 57 LGAs and LCDAs in the state at the State Secretariat, Acme Road, Ikeja.
The exercise is expected to produce all APC chairmanship and councillorship candidates for the forthcoming council polls.
Recall that the Lagos State Independent Electoral Commission (LASIEC) had slated July 12 for the conduct of chairmanship and councilor positions into the 20 Local Government Areas (LGAs) and 37 Local Council Development Areas (LCDAs).
The APC electoral committee last week cleared 432 chairmanship aspirants out of the 470 who submitted nomination forms for the 20 LGAs and 37 LCDAs.
Additionally, APC has indicated that its list of candidates for the chairmanship and councillorship polls will emerge through consensus between party leaders, aspirants, and members across the 57 LGAs and LCDAs in the state.
The party stated that adopting consensus lists for both the councillor and chairman seats would ensure a rancour-free primary exercise and sustain the existing unity among members of Lagos APC.
