The Aftermath of the APC Primaries have really turned sour in Amuwo-Odofin as efforts made to reconcile the crisis in the Amuwo-Odofin Local Government Area by the All Progressives Congress, APC, Lagos State Chapter has seemed futile.
According to Vanguard,
APC leadership, had earlier set up a committee to look into various agitations and claims by some aggrieved members across the troubled councils with a view to reaching amicable resolution.
The efforts made to resolve this crisis were rejected by the 15 APC chairmanship aspirants as they rejected the decision to pick Comrade Valentine Buraimoh as the consensus candidate for the area.
The meeting which was to soothe and put things right among these concerned parties lasted for hours.
The meeting held till late in the evening with no concrete agreement and resolution as the parties called for intervention of the National Leader of the party, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu who was said to be out of the country presently.
Due to this the primaries election for the forthcoming Local Government polls slated for July 22 has suffered a huge set back as aggrieved parties insisted on justice to be done.
One of the aspirants who spoke at a media briefing after the meeting, Engr. Olusola Openibo, contended:
“We are ready to step down for one of us, among the 15 aspirants to be chosen rather than allow Valentine who has contributed nothing to the development of the party to represent us at Amuwo Odofin.
“We believe that only Asiwaju Tinubu, our well respected leader is the only personality who can resolve this deadlock without any bias.
He is expected to return from abroad any moment from now and a meeting has been rescheduled for this Thursday, to resume talk in order to find a lasting solution before the commencement of campaigns next week.”
Meanwhile, a source within Valentine’s camp, who preferred anonymity, when contacted, confided in Vanguard that peace moves have commenced through door to door campaign to pacify the other aggrieved members on the need for unity and work together as a team for the progress of APC at large.
