~party stalwarts demand to know the Congress that produced him
~call for recognition of duly appointed LGA chairman
~call on leaders to sustain peace in Oshodi.
Members of the ruling APC, in Oshodi area of the Oshodi/Isolo local government has staged a peaceful protest to the local government chairman, Otunba Kehinde Almaroof Oloyede. The protest was aimed at registering their displeasure over what they termed "backdoor arrangements" by some people within the local government that feel they could Lord their selfish desires over that of the people.
It should be recalled that in total compliance with the APC directive, a peaceful LGA Congress was held within the council area on 4th September, 2021, with attendance of Otunba Kehinde Almaroof Oloyede (Oshodi-Isolo chairman), Otunba Bayo Olasoju (Isolo LCDA chairman), Hon. Jide Oni, M.T.O.(Candidate, House of Representatives), Barr. Kayode Tinubu (former vice chairman, Oshodi-Isolo local government) and host of other party dignitaries across the local government. The Congress also had in attendance and was ractified by Hon. Wasiu Akerele, Hon. Salewa and Comrade Akeem Dauda, who were Congress officials from the ACME office of the APC, with the proceedings of the event duly publicized by Channels television. Alh. Musiliu Akinsanya (Mc-Oluomo) later came and on seeing that the atmosphere was peaceful, took his leave.
It however came as a rude shock to the party stalwarts when a list was being bandit around supposedly containing the name of one Mr. Adelana Wale as the LGA chairman. The party loyalists were surprised and understandably angry over the backdoor arrangements by some people that are not politically relevant in their domain but believe they can usurp the wishes of the people because of their ties with certain individuals from the state level of the party.
During the protest, the party stalwarts requested to know where and when the Congress that produced him was held, presentation of the pictures/video of their Congress, who were the ACME representatives that chaired and ractified the congress and some other germane questions.
They also disclosed that Mr Adelana also sold the party out in the last LG election with APC recording just 4 votes in his polling unit that was at the front of his house and with his younger brother, Mr. Tosin Adelana, as the party agent. They noted that Mr. Adelana is totally useless politically within the local government and the 4 votes he gathered during the last LG election is an attestation to his abysmal failure as a party member. They wonder what the fate of the party would be with someone who was only able to produce 4 votes for the party at the LG election. They disclosed that if 4 votes were all he gathered for the party during the last July 24th, 2021 LG election, then the APC is destined for doom and failure in the coming elections because he lacks the capacity and pedigree to hold such office.
Furthermore, they averred that before, during and after the LG elections, Oshodi has been very peaceful, unlike what was applicable in the time past. They also were angry that why would the party hierarchies at state level allowed for such illegality and unethical behaviours. They were of the opinion that with such behaviours, the party is poised to loose the support and votes of the party members in the coming election within the local government area.
They equally noted that it will also lead to the truncation of the relative peace that had been existing in Oshodi because such imposition will be resisted by any means possible by party lovers. Noting that they took their protest to the council chairman so as to relay their message and dissatisfaction to the National Leader of the party: Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, the governor, Mr. Babajide Sanwoolu, and other party hierarchies.
While responding to the protesters, an aide of the chairman, Mr. Adekunle Adewale pacified the protesters and call for calm noting that the chairman was already on the matter and would relate their complaints to the appropriate authorities.
