Segun Dada & Dayo Israel

Dayo Israel has been declared the National Youth leader of APC in the just concluded of 2022 APC National Convention. He emerged not in a keenly contested election but in a consensus arrangement that has raised more controversy than peace the party wanted to achieve.

Abike Dada, wife of ousted Youth Leader aspirant of the All Progressives Congress, Oluwasegun Dada, has alleged that Lagos governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu threatened her husband before he withdrew from the contest. Abule Dada and Dayo Israel were the two leading contestants from Lagos vying for the post.

However, Mr Dada was pressured by the powers to be to withdraw for Israel in the name of consensus arraignment. He tearfully backed down and withdrew his candidacy paving way for the consensus candidate, Dayo Israel.

A Twitter user @lollylary1 had tweeted that Mr Sanwo-Olu appealed to Mr Dada to drop out of the race but Mrs Dada quoted the tweet with “and threatened”. 

Although the tweet has now been deleted but we got a screen grab before it was deleted. 

To buttress Mrs Dada’s claims, we have obtained the exclusive moment Dada withdrew his candidature fighting back tears, in the early hours of Sunday at the party’s 2022 National Convention held at Eagle Square, Abuja.

Olusegun withdrew in favour of the consensus candidate 36-year-old Abdullahi Israel from the Lagos state chapter.

Below is the video of his withdrawal:
