Image
Ahead of the July 12 Local Government elections in Lagos State, the Apex leaders of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Ojokoro Local Council Development Area (LCDA) have dismissed a purported chairmanship list submitted to the state party chairman, Pastor Cornelius Ojelabi, stating that it did not originate from a valid quorum of the council’s Apex Council. The leaders reaffirmed a highly respected journalist and prolific writer, Mr Mobolaji Sanusi as the consensus APC chairmanship candidate for Ojokoro, as adopted by the majority of council leaders during several earlier meetings.

Image
suggests consensus as the best option for the Primary Some aspirants and stakeholders under the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), in the upcoming local government election in Lagos State, have rejected the decision of the party to choose the indirect primary as the mode of determining flagbearers across the state. Under the indirect primary, only party executives in each local government appointed by chairmen, some of who are also vying in the election, will determine the winner in the election. However, a cross section of a chairmanship aspirants across the various local government areas and councils in Lagos State described the decision of the party to opt for indirect primary as an “aberration.” Some of the aspirants who spoke on conditions of anonymity argued that the move imposed on aspirants does not provide a level playing field for everyone in the primaries slated to hold on May 10, 2025. “What I will say is the issue of indirect primary actually means that we will use ju...

OJOKORO RUMOUR PEDDLERS: LET MOBOLAJI SANUSI BE

Image
By Busari Ojutelegan The moment for undeniable sense of truth and political clarity is now. Truth rises above deceit and falsehood, exposing in its wake the desperation of its perpetrators. For now, as always, truth, despite the machinations of falsehood purveyors, illuminates  the path forward.  Truth allows individuals and communities to grow and flourish and Ojokoro people deserve to know the truth about the best chairmanship prospect in the imminent local government election. Therefore, for the people of Ojokoro and Lagos state in general that are interested in knowing Mr. Mobolaji Sanusi as a reckoned force in his community, it is incontrovertible that he has over the years been consistently involved through moral/pecuniary efforts during electioneering operations and beyond of the progressive party(AC/ACN/APC) at the ward and local government levels.
