REJECTION and condemnation, on Monday, trailed the list of
chairmanship candidates released by the Action Congress of Nigeria (ACN)
across the local government
and local council development areas of Lagos State.
The list has further heightened the serious tension among the party
loyalists, who had before the release of the list, expressed their fears
over the attempt by the party leadership to handpick candidates.
Residents of Somolu, under the aegis of Somolu Concerned Youths,
have condemned the “selection” of Bangostowe as the party’s chairmanship
candidate in the forthcoming local government election.
The youth said apart from the fact that the incumbent chairman had
not convinced them of his ability to move the council forward, he had
also allegedly been indicted by the state House of Assembly.
The spokesperson of the group, Olalere Adebayo, urged the party
leadership to consider the teeming population of Somolu and save them
from insecurity which had characterised the administration of Bagostowe.
In related development, youths and elders from Badagry Local
Government Area have also condemned the “handpicking of Husitode Moses
Dosu as the candidate of the party in the coming local government
election.
The residents of Badagry claimed that the re-appointment of the
incumbent local government chairman was a sure way to take Badagry back
by another 10 years.
Ibraheem Adepegba, a youth leader in Badagry, said the administration
of Dosu had not done anything to impact on the lives of the people of
Badagry, while accusing him of fanning the ember of disunity in the
town.
The traditional rulers of Badagry, led by the Akran of Badagry, had,
prior to the selection of Dosu as the party’s candidate, written to the
state party chairman, Dele Ajomale, not to pick the incumbent chairman.
