Chief Dele Obasa, a chieftain of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Lagos State, has withdrawn his son, Olatunde Obasa, from the Agege Local Government chairmanship race.

This move comes amid allegations of imposition within the party.

According to sources, Chief Obasa made the decision to withdraw his son’s candidacy as a strong statement against the perceived imposition of candidates by certain individuals within the APC.

The withdrawal is seen as a significant development in the ongoing power struggle within the party.

The Obasas’ decision to step aside has sent shockwaves through the APC’s Lagos chapter and highlights the growing discontent among some party members regarding the candidate selection process.

This development underscores the challenges the APC faces in balancing internal party dynamics while presenting a united front ahead of the local government elections.
