Lagos State governorship aspirant, Abdul-Ahmed Mustapha was barred from entering the venue of the governorship primary at the Mobolaji Johnson Arena, formerly Onikan Stadium, Lagos Island on Thursday May 26th, 2022.

Mustapha said: “The Secretary of the primary election committee, Bashir Mohammed turned me back on Thursday, saying that I was not cleared and as such cannot be given accreditation access to the venue.”

“We were told that we were not cleared by the leadership of the party and as such, they only gave accreditation tags to those that were cleared.”

“We went to Abuja for clearance two weeks ago. The results of the clearance were not communicated to us.”

“We went to the APC state secretariat at Acme Road yesterday (Wednesday), we tried to get our accreditation tags but we were not given. We were there till 7am this morning before going to the venue of the primary.”
