Lagos: Oshiomhole Finally Breaks the Ice, Reveals APC's Position on Ambode

 

The leadership of the All Progressives Congress, APC, has finally reacted to reports of tensed infighting within the Lagos state chapter of the party.

In the run up to the party’s primaries scheduled for September ending and early October, the media has been inaundated with reports of alleged moves by the National leader of the party, Bola Tinubu to frustrate the 2nd term ambition of his estranged godson, Gov Akinwunmi Ambode.

However, Adams Oshiomhole today declared that Ambode, was not in any way embattled over the contention for the governorship ticket of the party in the state.

Recall that recently, the Vice Chairman of the APC in Lagos East Senatorial District, Asipa Kaoli Olusanya, stated that Tinubu instructed the 57 Local Council Chairmen in the state to work towards the emergence of Jide Sanwonolu, a former commissioner in the state, as the next governor of the state.

Oshiomhole dismissed these claims saying they are from the imaginations of enemies of the party.

IGBERE TV correspondent reports that, Adams Oshiomhole, who spoke during a meeting with the party’s governors, insisted that the Lagos State chapter of the party was in sound health, irrespective of the discontents against the governor.

According to Oshiomhole, “Now, the attempt to say an embattled governor…there is no APC governor that is embattled and because we are democratic, the best way to measure democracy is the presence of more than one person showing interest in an office.

“That does not make any other person embattled. But, of course, the media can create this impression that there is an earthquake in Lagos; there is no earthquake.

“At every level, I have seen people claiming that in one or two offices there was no opposition. In every other office, we have more than one candidate expressing interest. Those people who are currently occupying those positions are not by reasons of those new expressions of interests, embattled.

“Three, to say that you have never seen Lagos state governor in our meetings is to the extent that your lens is blurred. My records and minutes of our meetings will show the participation of the Lagos state governor in all the meetings in which he has been invited.

“I think our party in Lagos is at peace.”
