Members of All Progressive Congress, APC in Agege and Orile Agege have rejected the outcome of last party local government primary elections which they described as misleading and a culmination of manipulation, exclusion and abuse of party machinery.
Addressing aggrieved party members, the APC Presidential Campaign Council in Agege and Orile-Agege categorically pointed accusing fingers at Speaker of the Lagos State House of Assembly, Rt. Hon. Mudashiru Obasa, whom they accused of imposing a sick and bed-ridden candidate on the party.
Speaking in behalf of the protesting members, the PCC said the outcome of the “primaries was not a reflection of due process but a culmination of manipulation, exclusion and abuse of party machinery by entrenched interest who have hijacked the local political space”.
In an address signed by Hon. Sabitu Kamorudeen, Chairman PCC (Agege) and Bamofin Adetunji Akinyemi, Spokesperson PCC (Orile-Agege), the PCC said while it acknowledges and respects the supremacy of the party directives and structure, it should however not be construed as passive endorsement of tyranny or authoritarianism cloaked as leadership.
