… Describes result as ‘outrageously concocted’
By Sulaiman Adeniji
A prominent aspirant for chairmanship ticket of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) in Ojokoro Local Council Development Area (LCDA), Lagos State, Mobolaji Sanusi, has reacted to the outcome of the primaries
The shadow poll was held at the party’s secretariat on Acme Road, Ogba where the party’s chairmanship flagbearers for 55 out of the 57 councils were chosen ahead of the July 12 polls.
The Babatunde Ogala-led electoral committee announced that Sanusi polled two of 23 votes, a result the former Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer of Lagos State Signage and Advertisement Agency (LASAA) described as ‘outrageously concocted,” and laughable.
Although, Sanusi said he had accepted the outcome of the result as final, he said in a statement that Ojokoro LCDA had been denied of having a competent, credible, reliable and tested hand to run its affairs for the next four years.
The statement reads: “Hours ago, our party, the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Lagos State through my respected learned silk, Mr Babatunde Ogala, SAN, announced the winners of the Local Government chairmanship primaries that held in its ACME, Ikeja secretariat.
“I participated in the primaries as an aspirant seeking the party’s mandate to vie for the position of Ojokoro LCDA chairmanship stool. The outcome of the Electoral College primaries is out, and the names of winners made public.
“Yours sincerely was not considered good enough by the party to represent the good people of Ojokoro. But the decision couldn’t have been for lack of requisite qualifications and experience.
Sanusi thanked the speaker of the State house of assembly, Hon Mudathir Obasa and echelons of the leadership at the Ojokoro LCDA for their belief in his capacity to run.
