Lagos State All Progressives Congress Chairman Alhaji Tunde Balogun on Thursday urged the 57 council chairmen to complement the efforts of Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu at the grassroots.
There was a deep gulf between the two caucuses- Mandate and Justice Forum in the district. Also, there have been leadership squabbles involving Alebiosu, Senator Tony Adefuye and Alhaji Akanni Seriki. Chieftains and party members came from Agboyi/Ketu, Bariga, Epe, Ibeju, Igbogbo Bayeku, Ikorodu Central, North and West, Ikosi Ejinrin, Ikosi Isheri, Imota, Kosofe and Somolu.
He said: “The party chairmen acros the councils should note that a lot of people have joined the APC from other parties after the elections. Don’t make it difficult for them to register. Give them easy access to the party. Olusanya, former Agriculture Commissioner, said party unification was a process, adding that leaders and members must continue to brainstorm and share information.
“Since 1956, our votes were usually high in Kosofe. But, it has been going down. We need to work hard.” “APC is facing challenges in Zamfara and Bayelsa. The people, not judges, should elect their leaders.” He said the party should improve on its performance in next elections, adding: “We have three million APC members in Lagos. The total vote at the general elections was 700,000. It was shameful. We should be holding party meetings regularly and discussing.”
Rasak spoke on political labour and reward, stressing: “The more, the merrier. When you call people to labour, there should be refreshment. It should not be “me and me” alone.”
