A chieftain of the All Progressives Congress, APC, in Lagos State, Biodun Ajiboye, has claimed that the Indigenous of Biafra, IPOB, helped the
He said that the IPOB is one major reason the Labour Party must not be allowed to lead Lagos State, since, according to him, the leader of the party, Peter Obi, never spoke against the secessionist movement.
Ajiboye admitted that the LP and the Obidient Movement took the APC unaware and shook their political foundation in the presidential election, vowing that they will never allow that to repeat in the March 18 governorship and states assembly elections. “Obi actually rode on the religious factor. He wanted to ride on it to power. So he was hopping from church to church telling them ‘take your country back, take your country back’ as if the country literally belongs to the Christians and somebody took it from them. Wrong politicking if I may say,” he said on Arise TV.
“And the tribal factor. Obi played tribal politics and that again worked against us because the Igbo community came together in one bloc and gave their votes to Obi. We were caught unaware to a large extent. It was an insurgency upon our political stability and fortress.
