The All Progressives Congress in Lagos on March 28, 2026 dismissed reports that its delegates were abandoned during the party’s national convention in Abuja, saying the information being circulated is false. The party said the clarification became necessary after claims emerged that some delegates faced difficulties due to lack of support.
According to the party’s spokesperson, Seye Oladejo, all delegates from Lagos were properly arranged and transported to Abuja without any issues. He explained that the movement of delegates was planned and carried out in an orderly way, with attention given to their welfare throughout the trip.
He also stated that on arrival at the convention venue, delegates were settled into suitable accommodation, countering reports that they were left without shelter or support. The party maintained that no delegate from Lagos experienced the problems being reported.
The spokesman further explained that party activities, including logistics for events like the convention, are handled internally by the party and not by the state government. He noted that funding and coordination are managed within the party structure.
Oladejo advised members of the public to ignore unverified information and rely on confirmed sources when following political developments. He added that the Lagos chapter remains committed to unity within the party and continues to support its activities at both state and national levels.
The statement comes as political parties hold major gatherings ahead of future elections, with attention on how delegates are managed during such events.
