Truth and Reason
Barely two weeks after the Lagos State Local Government election, scores of the members of the Lagos State Chapter of the All Progessives Congress yesterday stormed the State House of Assembly Complex, calling for the removal of the state chairman of the party, Pastor Cornelius Ojelabi over the handling of the election.
He added Ojelabi and his team should take an honourable exit and allow the party to breathe in Lagos State. “The longest point of his political chicanery was the mismanagement of the 2025 Local Government elections throughout the 57 local government and local council development areas where he assembled the notoriously biased team to conduct the worst primary election in the history of our progressive party in Lagos State.
“As if that was not enough, Ojelabi, Faleke and their parochial, narrow-minded and self-centred team are planning to further polarise the party with one-side composition of the local government executives to further entrenched their winner-takes-all agenda and positioning for 2027 electoral contests.
“And to allow those with constitutional responsibilities to diligently discharge their duties without external influences of certain actors with selfish interests.”
