The All Progressive Congress (APC), Lagos State Chapter, has suspended the former Speaker of the Lagos State House of Assembly, Hon. Adeyemi Ikuforiji, and 20 others, including the Special Adviser to the Governor on Community and Communication Affairs, Hakeem Sulaiman-Oris, Attorney General, Adeniji Kazeem, among others, after they were suspected of alleged anti-party activities.

As gathered, the offense of the suspended members of Lagos APC was suspicion of forming an alliance with the Action Democratic Party (ADP) to bring the ruling party down, both in the state and at the federal level.

Others on the suspension list includes: Commissioner for Local Government and Community Affairs, Muslim Folami, House of Representative Member, James Falake, Senior Special Assistant to the Governor on Community Matters, Babatunde Quadri, Lagos State House of Assembly Members, Segun Olulade and Tunde Braimoh.

Others are Shakiru Denge Anifowoshe, Iyabo Akerele, Ola Shehu, Hon. Yemi Ali, Hon.Hakeem Bangbala, Alhaji Bashiru Adekoya, Otunba Tayo Oyemade, Hon. Abiodun Mafe, Rev.Iyo Oyasodun, Mr.Sanya Osijo, Hon.Hakeem Masha, Mr Corlelius Ojelabi and Femi Apata.

They said that those on the list were not only accused of playing anti-party activities while still with the APC, but they are also working to disrupt the structures of the party in the State before they leave for ADP.

According to them those working to bring the party down are doing so in their selfish interest without considering the gravity or consequence on the party.

Some of these people have started meeting with the opposition on the ground of ambition while some of them have already secured nomination forms from the ADP.

Lately, trouble has continued to rock the ruling Party across the nation, including Lagos, where the State Governor, Akinwunmi Ambode, is battling with his second term agenda which the APC Elders and Leaders in the State have refused to endorse.

One of the Governor’s nightmares, is his co-contender, Babajide Sanwo-Olu, who has continued to receive endorsements from different groups including religious leaders in the State.

On the suspension, the source disclosed that the party would ensure that those working against it were sanctioned, and APC would not go back on the decision to deal with any erring member of the party playing anti-party activities.

Another source from the inner caucus of the party revealed that there is possibility that the party National Leader, Bola Tinubu, may invite members of the party including those on suspension to his house for a meeting.

However, efforts to reach the people on the list of the suspension to confirm the allegation as well as the action proved abortive as their aides were not ready to speak on the matter.

Also, members from the ADP were yet to speak on whether they have been in contact with the embattled APC members.

APC doing what APC knows best

Please read my signature, thanks

Na wah ooo

Ambode is trying to fight back. This Ambode guy isn't strategic. He's not intelligent politically. If he was he would have known that moving to another party cannot work. He will be impeached. All these guys are just looking for a last pay day. I will continue to say it; the issues are simple:

1. What's the budget of Lagos combined from 2015 to date. When you do the maths ,can you truly say all you see over Lagos justifies the over trillion naira budget of the last three years.

2. How much did the ojodu Berger road construction cost. What's the cost of each of the bustops. Why is it that ambode never releases the cost of almost all the public projects in Lagos . I am not talking about PPP but projects fully paid for by Lagos money

3. Can we investigate how many directors and permanent secretaries have been sacked by ambode simply because they were perceived to be fasholas people

4. Can Ambode supporters mention his achievements in education, health care and housing

5. What's the business case for Changing a lawma model that was functional. Why change a winning formula.

Just yesterday, my car entered one deep pothole close to grammar school bustop and damaged my bumper.That pothole has been getting wider for months and nothing has been done. The moment you agree that fashola was better than tinubu then you will know ambode is worse than fashola.

What's so hard for ambode to say this Berger road project costs so so billions. What is he hiding. I don't care much about the politics but as someone who has lived in Lagos for over 30 years, and with the resources at Ambodes disposal, I have to say he has failed. If you know what fashola did in areas like ikorodu and what fashola did in education, environment,health care and housing,then you will know ambode is a scan. I can never forget the day fashola showed up unannounced to general Hospital ikorodu, that visit changed things then. If you know you know, but with the resources in Ambodes disposal, he should have been five times better than fashola instead he is five times worse.

One iconic thing ambode did that I will forever remember him for is the establishment of the LRU.They are super effective.



I wish him the best but he has not been a good governor for Lagos

Politics is filled with betrayals

After rigging Osun

The implosion continues
Osun election results show that APC is dead

Relying on sdp to win elections speaks volume that their problem is in a cancerous stage.

Lol APC going all out for tyranny

Pride goes before a fall....

APC Lagos chapter under Tinubu is about to fall.

Okay

See what NLC did in Uyo

May God not allow us to offend people that will not forgive us �� #AmbodePray4Grace

Tinubu is politically finished!

It is very much expected.

May Lagos APC get well from its self inflicted crisis.

what? attorney general is a party member? ahhh we are finished!

The people of Lagos must suspend APC for he next 4 years, Ambode or no Ambode!

That is the way to true development.

Democracy is not Monarchy!

adaweezy:
APC is dead in lagos

Una Don start again? The same way you talk for Osun.

Ambode's men being hunted!

they will go and prepare down for Ambode. #AMBODEWEKNOWAMBODEWETRUSTL

statusquoante:
Tinubu is politically finished!

Like you think he can't make Osun?

docadams:


Doubtful if you are alive

Very true. An example of the walking dead

That was how they took their pride too far in Osun and fragmented the party into pieces ..unable to win election in a clean and clear manner after all their shenanigans .If Buhari didn't intervene in that state it would have been a disaster for them. Let's see what will happen in 2019. The masses are watching with keen interest .

No true democracy in APC

siraj1402:
Like you think he can't make Osun?

With the help of Omisore abi?

Metuh:

With the help of Omisore abi?

Federal might rather.
But the supreme court will do the needful in no time.
