The protesters voiced their anger over an attempt to impose candidates for positions across the 20 Local Government Areas (LGAs) and 37 Local Council Development Areas (LCDAs) in the state.
The aggrieved APC members also called for the removal of the party’s state chairman, Cornelius Ojelabi.
Protesters, said to be delegates from all 57 council areas in Lagos, showed up in large numbers, chanting slogans and holding placards with messages like “Ojelabi Must Go” and “We Want Fresh Leadership.”
The protest started early Monday morning and drew attention from both the public and officials.
Security was tightened around the Assembly premises, with police officers stationed to ensure the demonstration remained peaceful.
Deputy Governor Kadri Hamzat later arrived at the protest site to address the crowd and ease tensions.
He assured them that the matter is internal and would be handled within the party’s structure.
KanyiDaily recalls that retired police officers also staged peaceful protests in both Abuja and Jalingo, Taraba State, to raise awareness about poor welfare conditions for both serving and retired officers.
