The All Progressives Congress (APC) in Lagos State has distanced itself from reports endorsing the Majority Leader of Lagos State House of Assembly, Noheem Babatunde Adams, as a consensus candidate for Eti-Osa Constituency I ahead of the 2027 elections.
A statement issued by the Head of Saheed Adesegun Bankole (SAB) campaign team, by Jidda Saisu, in response to the publication, said the party had not approved any endorsement, noting that the process for selecting candidates had yet to begin.
According to the statement, a letter dated March 23, 2026, was submitted to the APC State Secretariat indicating the endorsement.
It, however, clarified that the secretariat did not accept the communication, stressing that the party’s National Secretariat had not released a timetable or guidelines for the conduct of primaries.
The party maintained that, in the absence of official directives, ‘’any endorsement at this stage remains premature and without procedural effect.’’
The statement also emphasised the need for adherence to due process and internal democracy, warning against actions that could create division within the party or undermine confidence among aspirants.
APC reiterated that candidate selection would follow established procedures when the appropriate guidelines are issued.
