APC Presidential Aspirant Evicted From Rented Apartment.
From Our Correspondent.
Tunde Omosebi, a former presidential aspirant for the All Progressives Congress (APC) in the 2023 elections, has been evicted from his rented residence in Abuja due to a prolonged dispute over unpaid rent and a breach of his lease agreement. The eviction took place on Friday, November 15, with a court enforcement team and police officers present at the property, located in a high-end area of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT).
According to an anonymous source, the landlord stated that Omosebi’s tenancy had expired over four years ago. Despite numerous attempts to resolve the issue amicably, Omosebi reportedly failed to pay his rent and refused to vacate the premises.
“I lost my patience after years of unpaid rent and his constant refusal to leave the property. We tried to resolve the matter through dialogue, but after several attempts, we had no choice but to pursue legal action,” the landlord explained.
The landlord clarified that the tenancy was meant to last for a fixed period, but Omosebi overstayed the agreement, which resulted in a breach of contract.
In 2022, Omosebi responded to the landlord’s complaints in a letter dated June 30, in which he indicated his intention to terminate the lease due to what he described as “irreconcilable differences” arising from the landlord’s breach of the agreement.
In the letter, Omosebi also expressed his desire not to renew the lease, serving as formal notice to vacate the property. “Due to irreconcilable differences regarding your breach of agreements, we opt not to renew our lease. This letter serves as notice to vacate your property within the allowable period,” Omosebi stated.
However, despite sending the letter, Omosebi did not leave the property. Consequently, the landlord was compelled to take the matter to court to obtain an eviction order.
According to the landlord, Omosebi claimed ownership of the property but never appeared in court to defend his position, leading to a final court judgment in the landlord’s favor.
