APC primaries: Sanwo-Olu’s aide hospitalised after peace meeting

In February 2024, a senior aide to Lagos Governor Babajide Sanwo‑Olu—often identified as his chief of staff or a top political strategist—was rushed to hospital after a violent clash broke out at a peace‑building meeting organized by the All Progressives Congress (APC) to defuse tensions among rival factions ahead of the party’s gubernatorial primaries. The aide suffered injuries from a gun‑shot wound (or severe head trauma, depending on reports) and was admitted for emergency treatment, underscoring the heightened volatility surrounding the Lagos APC primary contest.
