SUNRISE – The National Leader of the
All Progressives Congress (APC),Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu has lamented the low
performance in fifteen local governments out of the twenty in Lagos State, stating
his disappointment over the development.
Asiwaju said this Saturday remain a test for the affected areas to redeem their
image politically,he made this assertion yesterday at a stakeholders parley
held at the party’s secretariat in Acme, Ikeja.
“It was only 5 local governments that preformed excellently in the last
elections the local governments are Mushin, Agege, Ikorodu, Lagos Mainland and
Lagos Island. We thank them for delivering their local governments without
stress. Those that were unable to perform up to expectations need to put more
efforts on Saturday’s elections.
“Any Local Government that did not hear their name is due to their votes, It
is a very poor performance, unlike Lagos that I know,Alimosho was
disappointing, Oshodi a struggle, so is Kosofe and Shomolu, they barely showed
up by their votes, I blame the sleeping canvassers, who faltered in delivering
their wards.
He stated that despite all shortcomings in the previous elections, the party
would defeat the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) , saying there was no need the
party members engage in electoral violence.
“We would defeat our opponents at the poll without violence. When you are
confident of winning elections, there is no need to fight anybody even if they
provoke you”, Tinubu advised members.
Tinubu concluded “On Saturday, all I want to hear is that we win in the
whole 40 constituencies. I want you all to stay on queue till you cast your
votes. We will also change some party agents who failed to deliver in the last
elections”
Some of the party leaders at the stakeholders meeting includes; Prince Tajudeen
Olusi, Chief Lanre Rasaq, Chief Bush Alebiosu and also the Deputy Governorship
candidate of the party, Dr Obafemi Hamzat.
