PARTY CHIEFTAINS APPLAUD TINUBU, DENY CRISIS IN APC OF IKORODU. | Shakiru Seidu. Call for peaceful dialogue among the aggrieved members.

Some APC Chiftains in Ikorodu were on Tuesday, 5th of June, applauded the directives of both the national leader of the All Progressives Party (APC) Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, and the leadership of the Party in Lagos State on Party Congresses. To the aggrieved members in Ikorodu Constituency 1, the party leaders revealed to MegaXpression Magazine that efforts were being made to reconcile members of the party following the outcome of the Wards and LG Congresses held last month.

It was also made known to our correspondent that the members of the party from Ikorodu Constituency 1 had expressed deep appreciation of over 250 reelected party officials across the Constituency, who were first timers and would have been denied of re-election.

In his eloquent remarks, Hon. SOB Agunbiade, Majority Leader of the Lagos State House of Assembly, who was said to also defend the directives of Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, by returning the first timers, lauded the large heart of Tinubu and commended the National Leader for his progresive stance at all times. He however, called on members of the party in his constituency and the Division at large to forget the differences they had before the congresses and come together to build a virile party as directed by Tinubu and other party leaders, saying working against the party will do no good for anybody.

Agunbiade further appealed to the aggrieved party members to accept the outcomes of the congresses as the wish of God and the voice of the party. According to him, "there are bound to be expressions of disatisfaction by some party members in any electoral process, as it was in the case in the last local government elections, but aggrieved members should be moderate in their reactions and must realise the need to work hard and make the APC stronger in unity."

The immediate past Chairman of the APC in Ikorodu Central LGA, Alhaji R. I Jinadu, called on whoever is aggrieved to embrace peace and shun protests and other violent activities. He appealed to them to use peaceful means to pursue their political aspirations and interests at all times.

He urged all party members and chieftains to toe the part of honour which majority party members and leaders have endorsed and move on with better plans for the party, which include working hard for the re-election of President Muhammad Buhari and Governor Akiwumi Ambode.

Another party leader and former State Secretary of the Party, Primate Charles Odugbesi (a.k.a Blessed Charley) expressed satisfaction with the efforts of the new state chairman of the APC, Hon. Babatunde Balogun, saying his intervention to unite the aggrieved members through dialogue, is yielding fruits.

The first Chairman of Ikorodu North LCDA Hon. Kunle Ogunbela and Hon. Mathew Adesanya, former chairmanship aspirant in Ikorodu North LCDA, while talking to MegaXpression pledged the unalloyed support of their followers and the great people of Ikorodu North to the party at all time.

He enjoined all to emulate the leadership qualities of Princess Adenrele Ogunsanya, who has already hosted banners at the Party Secretariat in Ikorodu, to congratulate the newly elected LGA and Ward Executives in Ikorodu Local Government.

The party leaders in their common words reassured the leadership of the APC at State level and Asiwaju Tinubu that Ikorodu Division is ready to move on with the party as the 2019 general election draws nearer.
