The Lagos State chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC) has established a five-member appeal committee to address complaints arising from the recently concluded chairmanship and councillorship primaries ahead of the July 12 local government elections.

According to a statement released on Monday by the party's spokesperson, Mogaji Oladejo, the committee was formed in response to allegations of irregularities during the primary process, with some aspirants calling for the cancellation of the results.

"Sequel to the successful conduct of primaries for the emergence of candidates towards the July 12 Local Government elections, the Lagos State chapter of All Progressives Congress (APC) has inaugurated an Appeal Committee to look into pockets of protests from dissatisfied aspirants who participated in the exercise," the statement read.

The party has urged all aggrieved aspirants to formally submit their complaints to the appeal committee no later than 12 noon on Tuesday, May 13, 2025, as part of efforts to ensure fairness and uphold internal democracy within the party.

The appeal committee comprises several distinguished individuals, including Mr. Lawal Pedro, SAN, who currently serves as the Attorney-General and Commissioner for Justice in Lagos State. Otunba Abiodun Olufowobi will act as the committee's Secretary.

Other members include Jokotola Pelumi, a former Speaker of the Lagos State House of Assembly; Hon. Lanre Ogunyemi, a former lawmaker and immediate past State Secretary of the party; and Chief Chukwudi Adiukwu.

The establishment of this committee underscores the APC's commitment to addressing internal conflicts and ensuring a transparent process as the party prepares for the upcoming local government elections scheduled for July 12, 2025.
