Politics: Ojokoro APC Leaders Frown At ‘Superstitious’ Consensus List, Insist On Sanusi



 POLITICS: Ojokoro APC Leaders Frown At ‘Superstitious’ Consensus List, Insist On Sanusi.


All Progressives Congress, APC leaders in Ojokoro Local Council Development Area (LCDA) have rejected a list of consensus candidates submitted to the state chairman of the party, Pastor Cornelius Ojelabi, saying it did not emanate from a quorum of the Ojokoro Apex Council and as such should be discarded by the state party leadership.

A letter jointly signed by Hon. Ipoola Omisore and Hon. Adisa Owolabi, both Former member, House of Assembly and Former Member, House of Representatives respectively, on behalf of Ojokoro Apex Council, said the attention of the bonafide leaders of Ojokoro LCDA had been drawn to a purported list submitted, ostensibly by Hon. Benjamin Olabinjo, the member representing Ifako federal constituency, to the state APC chairman, Pastor Cornelius Ojelabi.

The leaders said through informal sources and third party confirmation from within and outside the state APC secretariat, the list was supposedly submitted to the party chairman, through Hon. James Faleke, the member representing Ikeja federal constituency.

The leaders drew the attention of the state party leadership to an earlier consensus building initiatives by peace loving Ojokoro Apex leaders to ensure a hitch free emergence of our LCDA chairmanship party candidate in the upcoming local government elections in the state.

They said it was at one of such numerous meetings that leaders that were present voluntarily agreed to signing a resolution adopting Mr Mobolaji Sanusi as the APC candidate for Ojokoro in the upcoming local government elections.

They added that other decisions were equally agreed upon voluntarily at that meeting.

“The beauty of democracy is supremacy of the majority. Therefore, it is interesting to highlight that twelve out of 18 Ojokoro leaders signed for Sanusi’s adoption as the party chairmanship candidate in the upcoming elections”, they said in the letter.

Clarifications On A Purported Chairmanship List Submitted To The APC State Chairman By An Ojokoro Group


We the under signed are bonafide leaders of Ojokoro Local Council Development Area and our attention has been directed to a purported list submitted, ostensibly by Hon. Benjamin Olabinjo, the member representing Ifako federal constituency, to the state APC chairman, Pastor Cornelius Ojelabi.


According to informal sources and third party confirmation from within and outside the APC secretariat in ACME, the list was supposedly submitted to Pastor Ojelabi, through Hon. James Faleke, the member representing Ikeja federal constituency in Lagos state.



However, we state without equivocation, that the said list does not emanate from a quorum of the Ojokoro Apex Council and as such should be discarded by the state party leadership.


The purported list reportedly contains twenty names. Herein lies the fallacy of its originality because the entire membership of the original Ojokoro leadership list recognised by the party in the state contain 18 names. Where did the originators of this list get the additional names-possibly from their loyalists that are not leaders. This amounts to nothing but mere impersonation that deserves serious reprimand by the party leadership.
