Constituents of Ojodu Local Council Development Area have staged a mass protest against alleged Imposition of Segun Odumbaku as the All Progresssives Congress, APC, Candidate for the Chairmanship election in the LCDA.
Earlier today, a Group under the aegis of Team Kafayat Funmilayo Layeni, KFL, stormed the streets in Ojodu to showcase their dissatisfaction over the recent development as regards the alleged Imposition.
News filtered among Party members in Ojodu LCDA yesterday that the Lagos State Independent Electoral Commission, LASIEC, form have been given to a particular aspirant who is within the minority group.
Team KFL, a leading group amongst others at the primaries which were disrupted in five wards on Saturday were saddened by this development, prompting the protest staged today.
In a statement by Mr. Oni, Spokesman for Team KFL, said that it is disheartening that a minority group wants to have an edge over the majority, urging the APC leadership to look into the issue in earnest.
The Group also called out the Member House of Representatives representing Ikeja federal CONSTITUENCY for not defending the mandate of KFL
In his words, "It is on record that there was no election in five wards out of six wards in ojodu LCDA and the only ward where election was held was in ward A, oluwole/sogunro/ogba and Alhaja KAFAYAT FUNMILAYO LAYENI (KFL) was the sole winner of the ward A election.
"Going by the above, the TEAM KFL is saying that they are the majority and minority cannot rule over the majority. We are saying that our mandate/ticket should not be given to any other candidate except Alhaja KAFAYAT FUNMILAYO LAYENI (KFL), she's loved by the majority, the majority wants her as the next chairman of OJODU LCDA and nothing should change that", Oni concluded.
