Some aggrieved members of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in the Oshodi-Isolo Local Government Area (LGA) of Lagos State on Friday stormed the party secretariat to protest.
The members protested against the planned substitution of the executive committee list produced at the last LGA Congress.
The aggrieved members, who earlier took their protest to the Ifako-Ijaiye area where party elders and stakeholders from the Lagos West Senatorial District were holding a meeting, returned to the party secretariat at Acme Road and later stormed the Lagos State House of Assembly.
Leading the protesters, Chief Alakoso Fasesan-Ajanaku, an APC elder from the council area, said the reason they had to organize the peaceful protest was to intimate the party leadership of their grievances.
Fasesan-Ajanaku said that the group was interested in fostering unity in the party, hence the protest for the right thing to be done.
He said: “We are law-abiding citizens, we do not want to take the laws into our hands.
“We do not want violence or people going about expressing their displeasure in an unruly manner, that is why we are here to present our case to the leader of our party to help us settle it.”
In a petition submitted to the APC Secretariat, the House of Assembly, and the Governors’ Office, the group alleged that there was a plan by the Oshodi-Isolo LGA chairman, Mr. Kehinde Oloyede, to tinker with the authentic executive committee list.
