The All Progressives Congress (APC), Lagos State chapter, has slammed Kaduna State Governor, Mallam Nasir el-Rufai, for his comments on godfatherism in Lagos politics.
The party’s reaction came after el-Rufai said he would not apologise for the comment.
Speaking with State House correspondents on Monday, el-Rufai said he stood by his earlier statement that anyone who desired to win the governorship election in Lagos could do so without any godfather by taking advantage of the 5 million registered voters in Lagos that did not vote during the 2019 general election.
