In a developing news, the commissioner for energy and mineral resources in Lagos state, Olawale Oluwo, on Wednesday, December 5, announced his defection from the All Progressives Congress (APC).
In a resignation letter dated Wednesday, December 3, and addressed to the APC chairman in Lagos state, Oluwo claimed that the party’s primary election held in October was characterised by voter disenfranchisement, undue influence, violence, and intimidation to members among other activities that violate the electoral law.
