'Ikeja ACN Is Politically Upside Down'

The immediate past member of the House of Representatives representing Ikeja Federal Constituency on the platform of the Action Congress Of Nigeria, ACN, Hon. Bayo Odulana, has said that the party in the area is politically upside down and needs to be repositioned.

The former member of the Lagos House of Assembly said this during a forum organised by some political leaders in the area recently.

The event which was held at Agindingbi Town Hall was attended by Chief Ebenezer Abiola Akinbolade, former commissioner for Commerce and Establishment; Adeniran Oyemade, party leaders and party faithful.

Niganga as he his fondly called said,”We felt that Ikeja is upside down politically and a lot of people are concerned and worried about the ugly development, hence the decision of the leaders to come together to chart a new course for the party in Ikeja.

“Those who claim to be leaders are only extorting the people in the name of party, asking those who have aspirations to bring what they cannot afford. They don’t have the interest of the people at heart. Therefore, we are holding this forum to tackle the issue once and for all,” he said.

Chief Ebenezer Akinbolade said,”Ikeja has always been a reference point in the politics of Lagos State but in recent times, things have gone haywire and we felt that good leaders, leaders of thought and selected leaders in the environment should come together, correct things and put the party on the right footing.

“We don’t want extortion anymore, we don’t want despots and impostors anymore. We don’t want people to exploit our members anymore and we want to ensure that we put a round peg in a round hole and not otherwise,” he said.
