Leaders of the Action Congress of Nigeria, ACN, in Lagos Island East Local Council Development Area have warned a chieftain of the party Tajudeen Olusi to stop interferring on issues surrounding the emergence of a chairmanship candidate for the council area.
They said failure by Governor Babatunde Fashola and the national leader of the party Asiwaju Bola Tinubu to call him to order might lead to chaos and disunity among the party loyalists in the council area.
Leaders of the party including Rasaq Balogun, Hon. Monsuru Owolabi and the present council chairman Muftau Kadiku vowed to sanction Prince Olusi for anti party activities including pronouncing one Kehinde Ashekun as the chairmanship candidate of the party for the coming local government election in the state without the knowledge of the party leaders.
They therefore asked Olusi to limit his backdoor politics to Lagos Island West Local Council Development Area where he belongs.
The ACN leaders in Lagos Island East LCDA disclosed that they have unanimously endorsed KAMAL Salau-Bashua whom they said had the best performance during the screening exercise as the candidate of the party for the poll.
The leaders said they wanted the best aspirant to emerge as the party’s candidate for the election for the overall benefit and development of the council area.
In another development a Concerned Group on the island, the Youth Vanguard has stressed the need for Prince Olusi to allow the genuine leaders of the party within the council area to decide for the people.
