APC panics, sets up committee on unsatisfactory Lagos LG primaries

The All Progressives Congress (APC) in Lagos State, appears to fret over the unsatisfactory outcome of the local government primaries in Lagos State a fortnight ago. The party leaders were chided by majority APC members over imposition of candidates for the local government election in the state in July. Majority party members protested that some aspirants were already anointed by the godfathers, and a list of candidates prepared before the primaries were conducted across the state.

Accordingly, the Lagos APC leaders have appointed peace and reconciliation committees, to restore cohesion, peace and unity in the party.  The APC peace and reconciliation committees in Lagos State were mandated to meet with party leaders, aspirants, members and other relevant stakeholders in the state over issues emanating from the local government primary elections.

Members of the committees include:

Lagos West senatorial district 1.

Abiodun Ogunleye, chairman; Kaoli Olusanya, Sunny Adeeko,
