AAC Lagos West Chapter Disowns Circulated Suspension Notice, Says Some-Fun Remains Candidate

The Lagos West Senatorial District chapter of the African Action Congress (AAC) has distanced itself from a recently circulated publication announcing the suspension of Comrade Alfred O. Some-Fun and the withdrawal of his candidacy for the Lagos West Senatorial District ahead of the 2027 general elections.

In a press release signed by Comr. Ayinde Olawale, Deputy Chairman of the Lagos West Senatorial District of the AAC, the chapter said the circulated publication should not be regarded as an official position or communication of the party pending proper clarification and confirmation through its appropriate structures.

The chapter advised members of the public, party members, supporters, candidates and other stakeholders to disregard any unverified information concerning the purported suspension or withdrawal of Some-Fun’s candidacy until an official statement is issued by the duly authorised party leadership.

The statement further maintained that Some-Fun remains the AAC candidate for the Lagos West Senatorial District for the 2027 general election, pending any duly authorised communication through the party’s appropriate channels.

The Lagos West chapter said the AAC remains committed to due process, internal party procedures, discipline, transparency, accountability and respect for the established structures of the party.

It also urged party members, supporters and members of the public to rely solely on official communications from the appropriate party authorities and refrain from circulating unverified information capable of creating confusion, misunderstanding or division.

“Any further clarification, where necessary, will be communicated through the appropriate official channels,” the statement said.

The development comes after a separate statement purportedly announcing the immediate suspension of Some-Fun and withdrawal of his candidacy was circulated publicly.

The latest press release, however, says that publication should not be treated as an official communication pending clarification through the AAC’s authorised structures.
