Incident Report: APC House of Representatives Primary Election – Ward G (D3), Agura/Iponmi

 

*Incident Report: APC House of Representatives Primary Election – Ward G (D3), Agura/Iponmi*

The APC House of Representatives primary election held in *Ward G (D3), Agura/Iponmi* was marred by intimidation, disruption, and alleged irregularities, making it a show of shame for the party’s internal democratic process.

*Key Issues Observed in Ward G (D3), Agura/Iponmi:*

1. *Intimidation of Members*  

   Genuine APC members in Ward G (D3) were allegedly threatened and intimidated to prevent them from participating freely in the voting process.

2. *Use of Non-Members to Disrupt the Process*  

   Individuals without valid APC membership slips were allegedly brought into Ward G (D3) to disrupt proceedings and interfere with the election.

3. *Presence of Fake Officials*  

   No official register was presented. Unknown persons posing as electoral officials conducted the exercise in Ward G (D3) without proper verification. Instead of following due process, they aligned the conduct of the election in favor of the camp of Hon. Jimi Benson.

4. *Outcome Under Fair Conditions*  

   Had the primary election been conducted in line with party guidelines, Hon. Abdul Karim Olugbenga Shittu would have emerged the winner, all things being equal.

*Implication:*  

These actions undermined the credibility of the primary election in *Ward G (D3), Agura/Iponmi*. The use of intimidation, fake officials, and non-members contradicts the APC’s stated commitment to direct primaries and internal democracy. We therefore call on the party leadership and the Appeal Committee to investigate this matter and take appropriate action to uphold justice and the integrity of the process.

The Errors In The Counting Of The Votes In Ikorodu

 

As the last counting of the voter's numbers, it shows 210, and they end up writing 3,210 in the official election result that was kept away from the agents.

Moreso, the compound was empty when they finished counting the votes of both the 210 for Jimi and 33 for Shittu. It's a big surprise that I ended up seeing 3,210 votes.

The fact remains that the compound cannot contain 500 voters, to talk more than 1,000.

Democratic Abnormalities In Politics Have Gradually Become Normalized

 

It’s a pity that democratic abnormalities in politics have gradually become normalized. I’m still surprised that some people see another person contesting against their preferred candidate as a political crime. Even though JB may have more potential to defeat Hon. Shittu in the election, that does not deprive Hon. Shittu of his constitutional right to contest and represent his constituency. Obviously, JB has gained more political popularity because of his current status and the goodwill he has built among the people. However, the gentleman also has every right to contest as many times as possible as a legislator, as long as the people still want his service.

The Ikorodu political structure is not doing justice to the principles of democratic politics. Imagine two aspirants contesting in the same party primary election, yet party leaders openly endorsed one candidate against the other before the process even began. What kind of result should people expect from such a primary election? To be honest and unbiased, if yesterday’s election had been conducted based on credibility and fairness, JB might still have emerged victorious because of his popularity and the work he has done to win the hearts of many people. But the election conducted was nothing but a joke and not something worthy of praise. I personally drove round most of the locations where the election was conducted. There were no INEC officials present; party members themselves were fully in charge of the process. In fact, once they noticed you intended to vote for Hon. Shittu, they would chase you away openly and intimidate voters.

Most polling booth agents refused to append their signatures because of the irregularities observed, yet results were still recorded and announced. At Agbala Ward E3, for example, the votes recorded for JB at the polling point were not up to 300, but the final result announced suddenly reflected over 3,000 votes. Similar situations reportedly occurred across several polling units. This automatically describes the kind of democratic process being practiced in Ikorodu politics today. I have seen some people suggesting that the next step should be going to court. However, if I had the opportunity to advise Hon. Shittu, I would say going to court may not make much sense when the same political structure and leaders already see him as an outsider within the party. What Ikorodu APC truly needs now is a sincere review of its electoral process in order to protect the future of internal democracy and restore confidence among party members and the people.

The Right Way Election Suppose To Be Conducted And Announced

 

This is the proper and transparent manner through which a credible election process should be conducted and officially announced, not through manipulation, intimidation, or the coordinated involvement of non-members alongside compromised officials to disrupt and discredit the entire process.

Attached is the videographic evidence of the properly conducted Primary Election held in Kosofe Constituency yesterday day, serving as a clear contrast to the irregularities and compromised activities witnessed in Ward D3.

BREAKING NEWS:

 

BREAKING NEWS:

Reliable information emerging from Bourdillon, Ikoyi residence of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu (PBAT), following a late-night meeting with South-West APC leaders yesterday, reveals the President’s deep displeasure over reports of internal party developments across the nation.

According to sources privy to the meeting, President Tinubu reportedly stated:

“I am a party constitutional democrat. Yes, I gave governors the privilege to coordinate and take charge of party affairs in their respective states, but I did not ask anyone to impose candidates indiscriminately.

Even where necessary, no one should be a judge in his own case.

"Where free and fair primary elections did not take place, I have directed the National Chairman and National Secretary to do the needful in restoring the integrity of the party.”

— PBAT, 15/05/2026.

The statement is already generating serious political conversations within APC circles, especially in states where allegations of imposition and manipulated primaries have dominated discussions ahead of the 2027 elections.

OPEN PROTEST STATEMENT FROM CONCERNED CITIZENS OF WARD A1

 

*📢 OPEN PROTEST STATEMENT FROM CONCERNED CITIZENS OF WARD A1*

We, the people of Ward A1, Ikorodu Lagos , reject in its entirety the flawed and illegitimate electoral process conducted in our Ward A1.

It is on record that:

No INEC official from the headquarters or any senior staff from the head office was present on ground. Yet the process was allowed to proceed.

During the exercise, party agents were instructed to produce sheets of paper to manually record results, a clear deviation from standard procedure.

The agent representing *Hon. Abdulkareem Olugbenga Shittu* refused to comply, rightly noting that no official agent of the aspirant was physically present.

Counting was abruptly stopped midway while *Hon. Shittu’s votes* were being tallied.

Officials then attempted to announce results without the consent or participation of the affected agent, coordinators, and other stakeholders.

This is not an election, It is a premeditated subversion of the democratic will of the people.

We demand:

Immediate intervention by INEC headquarters and the Presidency.

Full investigation into the absence of proper INEC officials and the irregularities observed.

Nullification of the entire process in Ward A1 due to fundamental breaches.

Conduct of a fresh, transparent, and credible election with full INEC oversight and all stakeholders present.

Ward A1 will not accept any imposed outcome. Our mandate must be respected!

#WardA1 #JusticeForWardA1 #NoToImposition #LetThePeopleDecide

*🚨 NO INEC OFFICIALS, NO CREDIBLE ELECTION IN WARD A1!*

No INEC head office officials or senior staff were on ground, yet they proceeded?

Agents forced to use private sheets of paper for results.

Hon. Abdulkareem Olugbenga Shittu’s agent refused to participate because no official agent was present.

Counting stopped midway on Shittu’s votes.

They tried announcing “results” without agents’ consent.

This is electoral fraud!

We call on INEC and the Presidency to immediately investigate and cancel the sham process in Ward A1. A fresh election with proper oversight is the only solution.

The people are watching. We will not be silenced!

Version 3: Community Unity & Emotional Appeal

*A UNITED CRY FOR JUSTICE

WARD A1 SPEAKS* 

Fellow residents of Ward A1 and well-meaning Nigerians,

What happened in our Ward cannot be allowed to stand. There were no INEC officials from the headquarters present, yet the so-called election went ahead.

When agents were strangely asked to bring out sheets of paper to record results, the agent of Hon. Abdulkareem Olugbenga Shittu refused — because no legitimate agent for the aspirant was even on ground.

Despite this, counting was halted midway on Hon. Shittu’s votes, and attempts were made to announce results without the consent of agents, coordinators, and other stakeholders.

This is a clear violation of every principle of free and fair election.

We stand together and demand:

Immediate investigation by INEC headquarters

Cancellation of the flawed exercise in Ward A1

A new, transparent election with proper INEC presence and full stakeholder participation

Ward A1 deserves better. Our votes must count!

Version 4: Strong Call-to-Action

*📍 WARD A1 REJECTS ELECTORAL RIGGING!*

Facts:

Zero INEC head office officials on ground.

Irregular instruction for agents to use personal result sheets.

Hon. Abdulkareem Olugbenga Shittu’s agent absent — yet process continued.

Counting stopped abruptly during Shittu’s votes.

Attempt to force announcement without agents’ consent.

Enough of this impunity!

We urge INEC, the Presidency, security agencies, and all democratic stakeholders to act now. Investigate Ward A1 and nullify this illegitimate process.

AN OPEN PROTEST STATEMENT FROM THE PEOPLE OF WARD A1

*📢 AN OPEN PROTEST STATEMENT FROM THE PEOPLE OF WARD A1*

We, the residents and stakeholders of Ward A1, strongly reject the sham process that took place during the recent election exercise in our Ward.

What was supposed to be a free and fair democratic process turned into a charade. Voting was abruptly halted in the middle of counting without any cogent reason. The results were neither announced nor properly collated. Agents and canvassers were mysteriously absent or denied the opportunity to effectively participate, leaving no verifiable records of the votes cast.

This is not democracy. This is a deliberate attempt to subvert the will of the people.

We demand:

Immediate investigation by INEC and the relevant authorities into the happenings in Ward A1.

Full disclosure of all records and footage from the exercise.

Cancellation of the flawed process and conduct of a fresh, transparent election in Ward A1.

The people of Ward A1 will no longer tolerate imposition and electoral fraud. Our votes must count!

ENOUGH IS ENOUGH!

In Ward A1, there was NO free and fair election. Counting was stopped midway on instruction, results were never announced, and no proper records exist. Agents and canvassers were sidelined.

This is a daylight robbery of our democratic rights.

We call on INEC, the Presidency, and all relevant authorities to immediately investigate and nullify the process in Ward A1. A fresh election must be conducted!

The people are watching. Our voices will not be silenced.

Community Unity Version (Emotional & Collective)

A CRY FOR JUSTICE FROM WARD A1 COMMUNITY

Fellow Nigerians, especially sons and daughters of Ward A1,

Today we stand united as one voice. What happened in our Ward during the election was a total disgrace to democracy. The voting exercise lacked transparency, credibility, and fairness. Counting was halted abruptly, agents were absent or powerless, and till this moment, no official results or records have been released.

This is not how elections should be conducted in our nation.

We are law-abiding citizens who only ask for one thing: Let our votes count!

We therefore demand the immediate intervention of INEC and the Presidency to:

Investigate the irregularities in Ward A1.

Declare the process inconclusive and nullify any imposed outcome.

Order a fresh, credible election monitored by all stakeholders.

Ward A1 will not be silenced. We stand together for justice and transparency.
