Political Shake-Up: Drama and Upsets at APC Lagos Council Primaries

Image
  By Sultan Oluwaseunayofunmi The recently concluded All Progressives Congress (APC) council election primaries in Lagos State delivered a mix of suspense, drama, and political upheaval. Held across the 57 Local Government Areas (LGAs) and Local Council Development Areas (LCDAs), the primaries saw no fewer than six incumbent council chairmen fail to secure a second term ticket—marking a significant shift in local party dynamics. In what many have described as a surprising outcome, four of the incumbents were unseated by a mix of former lawmakers and fresh faces within the party, some of whom were contesting for the first time. The results, collated at the party's state secretariat in ACME, Ikeja, showed these chairmen trailing behind their challengers—some finishing as low as third place. The biggest upsets occurred in: Ojo LGA, where Muibat Rufai ousted the sitting chairman Idowu Rasulu Onigbongbo LCDA, where Rakiat Hassan was defeated by Moyo Adebanjo Ayobo-Ipaja LCDA, where Ladi...

Lagos State Government to Ban Danfo and Korope Buses on October 1.

Image
By Sultan Oluwaseunayofunmi , The Lagos State Government has said there’s no going back on the planned enforcement banning operations of all unregulated commercial bus operations, such as  Danfos and Koropes, along the Lekki-Epe corridor, from October 1, 2024.

Giwa stated that a stakeholders’ meeting was held with bus operators and union leaders on their need to comply before October 1 to successfully regulate and integrate the informal transport sector into the State’s Bus Reform Initiative using the corridor as a pilot test. Giwa described the current state of bus operations on the corridor as chaotic hence, the need for collaboration to successfully r...

Outcry in Epe: Residents Demand Fairness Over Dual Toll Gates on Epe/Ijebu-Ode Expressway

Image
By Sultan Tensions are rising in Lagos State’s Epe Division as residents and stakeholders voice growing frustration over what they describe as unfair toll practices on the recently renovated Epe/Ijebu-Ode Expressway. The controversy centers around two toll gates situated on the same road—allegedly managed separately by the Lagos and Ogun State governments. The presence of both tolls, locals argue, amounts to double taxation and places an unnecessary financial burden on daily commuters. Currently, road users report paying between ₦1,000 and ₦2,000 per trip, depending on the size and type of vehicle. For farmers, traders, workers, and students who rely on this route daily, the charges are more than just inconvenient—they’re unsustainable. “This toll is a clear hardship on our people,” a community leader said during a recent town hall. “Why should people be punished for going to work or taking their goods to market?” In response, residents are proposing more reasonable fees: ₦200 for ...
