2027: Lagos NDC leaders reject move to alter primary result, back Balogun’s candidacy

Leaders of the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC) in Lagos State have rejected any move to alter the outcome of the direct primary that produced Mr. Naheem Balogun as the party's governorship candidate for the 2027 elections. They insist on respecting the will of party members and condemn reports that another name has been submitted to the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC). The group warns that internal disputes could weaken the party's electoral prospects if not resolved transparently.
