Tension in Lagos APC: Tinubu Petitioned as Party Locks Out Aspirant


We read that tension is boiling in the Apapa/Iganmu Federal Constituency of Lagos, and it is in connection to the nomination process of the All Progressives Congress (APC)

Things reportedly came to a head when the chairman of the party locked one aspirant out of the party secretariat. Dr. Adesola Adedayo was locked out and his declaration was stopped.

Party chairman, Alhaji Morufu Gbadamsi Ojora, reportedly locked out Adedayo and his supporters and went away with the keys. 

Members in the coundil wards have sent a petition to Tinubu, National APC leader. 

The petition reads, in parts (as obtained from Tribune newspaper) “ in a contest that requires a level-playing field for all aspirants and an unbiased officiating, Alhaji Ojora is using his privileged position to openly canvass to the LGAs and Ward executives of the party for the blanket endorsement of Hon. Adewale Babatunde for the House of Representatives under the pretense that the party had given directive for automatic return of all legislators both at the state and National Assemblies.

“Today, all is not well with the Apapa/Iganmu chapter as Ojora is hell-bent on foisting his preferred candidate for the seat on electorates through the back door.

“More worrisome is his penchant to drop Prince Olusi’s name whenever it seemed convenient to confer legitimacy on whatever he says, knowing full well that other exco members do not have the kind of access he enjoys with our Leader.

“In a deliberate bid to scuttle the ambition of our obviously more popular candidate, Hon. Adedayo, whose aspiration enjoys wider acceptance, he has refused to summons LGA party meeting to date ostensibly to deny him the forum to make his official declaration to the generality of party members”.
