Former Chairman of Agege Local Government Area of Lagos State, Alhaji Ganiyu Kola Egunjobi, and another chieftain of the party in the local government, Azeez Oladapo Yusuf, have defected to the Allied Peoples Movement (APM), emerging as candidates of the party.

The duo also dismissed reports linking their defection from the All Progressives Congress (APC) to the Speaker of the Lagos State House of Assembly, Rt. Hon. Mudasiru Obasa.

The duo, who contested the APC tickets for Agege Constituencies I and II respectively, had protested the conduct of the APC primaries.

Their defection came after a controversial APC primary in which Egunjobi lost the ticket to his former Vice-Chairman, Glenga Abiola, while Yusuf’s fellow aspirant, Hon. Sakiru Sule Enimakure, was declared winner.
