Voters Flee As Violence Breaks Out At APC Primaries In Lagos by politicoNG(op): 4:30pm On May 16

Violence erupted on Saturday at the All Progressives Congress (APC) primaries in Mushin Local Government Area of Lagos State, forcing party members and supporters to flee for safety.

The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that the incident occurred before the commencement of voting for the party’s House of Representatives primary for Mushin Constituency II.

As at the time of filing this report, the exercise had yet to begin, while tension remained high around the venue.

The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) correspondent who was at the scene witnessed chaos following disagreements among supporters of some of the aspirants.

This led to a stampede as delegates and party faithful hurriedly left the scene.

Among the leading aspirants contesting the party’s ticket were: Hon. Seye Oladejo and the incumbent lawmaker, Hon. Oluwatoyin Fayinka, seeking re-election.

Other aspirants were also participating in the contest.

Several attendees expressed concern over the violence, urging party leaders and security agencies to ensure a peaceful and transparent process.

Party officials had yet to issue an official statement on the incident as at the time of filing this report.

The APC primaries are being held nationwide to select candidates for the 2027 general elections. (NAN)

Regardless how you paint your narrative Tinubu wll rule you till 203q even till 2035.

Countless Violent during obj administration yet heaven didn't fall.

Countless Violence and attacks during Gej administration heaven didn't fall.

Countless violence during failure Buhari administration yet heaven didn't fall
