Excos Endorse Preferred Candidate, Exploit Aspirants in Disregard to Party Guidelines


The political jobbers dubbed Alimosho leaders are at it again, but their approach this time is not only  disgraceful but also highly disgusting. 


About 24 hours after the announcement of the suspension of Alimosho Local Government Council Chairmen, Hon. Sulaiman Jelili, it was reliably gathered that the caretaker executives in Agbado-Oke-Odo invited all the aspirants to a parley at the party Secretariat. As committed party members who anticipated fairness from the party they all belonged to, they decided to honour the invitation. But on arrival, they were told that 'the party' would attend to them one after the other and that a particular aspirant would be attended to by 3pm. According to the arrangement, all other aspirants must have been attended to and must have left. Little did the unsuspecting aspirants know that, 'the party's' preferred candidate already had his nomination form in their custody and that they merely wanted to exploit the innocent aspirants. These callous caretaker executives went further to demand and collected money from these aspirants before they were allowed to leave.


After the other aspirants exit, these heartless monsters in human skin unanimously endorsed their anointed aspirant. They had group photographs

with him and posted the pictures on their various social media platforms telling party members that the party candidate for the Chairmanship position for the forthcoming local government election had remerged. The endorsed candidate was no other than the sitting council chairman, Hon. David Famuyiwa - an aspirant who the electorate would do everything possible to unseat. Famuyiwa is far from being the people's choice.


Is this truly the position of our party? What is the essence of the party guidelines and even the Hamzat-led committee set up by the state party? For how long shall our party, at the state watch the shenanigans being practised in Alimosho all in the name of Baba Sọ pe?


Prior to the endorsement ceremony, all other aspirants in Agbado Oke-Odo had picked their nomination forms in anticipation for a free and fair contest. The disturbing lines are, if there will be any consensus, there must have been a wide and reasonable consultation, the result could never have been Famuyiwa if such consultation was done truly within the relevant stakeholders in Agbado Oke-Odo.

Alimosho Excos indiscriminately endorse preferred candidate

Alimosho APC is not bigger than the party at the state level. A drastic step must therefore be taken by the Hamzat-led committee and all other concerned individuals and interests the party is supposed to protect. Democracy, in Alimosho, is in danger and we cannot pretend that all is well when the entire system is in a quagmire.


For how long shall we continue to do things the wrong way and expect a positive result?

Enilolobo; Captain Of A Sinking Ship

Enilolobo: Captain Of A Sinking Ship The attention of Alimosho Liberation Movement has been drawn to a nefarious publication from Alhaji Abdullahi Oluwole Enilolobo, a confessed liar, a rancourous element, a bitter and resentful noisemaker, comparing himself with the Speaker of the Lagos State House of Assembly. This time, their infantile and unwarranted attacks were targeted at the persons of the Speaker, Lagos House of Assembly Rt. Hon. Mudashiru Ajayi Obasa, a lawyer, a foremost lawmaker, former Chairman of the Conference of Speakers in Nigeria among other enviable titles, for his lovers but intimidating to his foes, and Alhaji Abiodun Isola Ejigbadero, a scion of Ejigbadero dynasty, a realtor, a property Magnate and a loyal party man. Their latest swipe again, demonstrated an acute obsession with the propagation of falsehood, lies and alternative facts to get public attention and sympathy for Enilolobo's political doom. This political terrorist thinks he is somebody when he con...

  Where Are the Promised Votes? - Ejigbadero Reactions have continued to trail the ongoing collation exercise of presidential results in the just concluded general elections in Abuja, after seeing the tension and turn of events in the just concluded general elections.  While the development has sparked jubilation in some quarters, it has called for questioning in others - both parties and non-party members have expressed mixed concerns. With the current happenings, Lagos State appears to be one of the most hit states, alongside Osun, Gombe, Yobe, Katsina, Imo, and a host of others which are currently APC states but have lost to the PDP and the Labour Party. In the current scheme of events, Alimosho Local Government, which used to be described as Tinubu Country was also lost to the Labour Party, which polled over 57,000 votes against the All Progressives Congress which polled a bit over 52,000. According to a party chieftain, Alhaji Abiodun Ejigbadero, "this outcome of the pres...

Trip To Ibadan: Enilolobo, Council Chairmen Plot To Break Party, Remodel BATCO Mandate

Trip To Ibadan: Enilolobo, Council Chairmen Plot To Break Party, Remodel BATCO Mandate In our expectation for an issue-based defense, we repeatedly read the empty article proudly put up and signed by one Opeyemi Babatunde in defense of the shameful trip being sponsored by his principal, Hon. Sulaiman Jelili to and fro Ibadan in support of the Vice President's presidential ambition under the guise of a Progressive Youth Summit. It is disappointing that even after reading about five times, we still could not make a tangible point from the tripe. The above got us wondering if the entire hogwash was truly worth the 15 hours it took Opeyemi and his colleagues to come up with a response to our disclosure on their trip to Ibadan. While we maintain our stand that, like every other Nigerian, they have the sole right to support whoever they desire to follow, we would also want to advise them on the need to shun hypocrisy and double-dealing which we understand to be a ...
