Leaders and stakeholders of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Yaba Local Council Development Area (LCDA) have called for a new primary for the chairmanship of the LCDA ahead of the July local government elections.

In a letter addressed to the chairman of the APC Electoral Committee, Babatunde Ogala, this group described a move to pick a candidate as ?undemocratic, provocative, and a clear affront to the will of the people.?

The letter was co-signed and endorsed by ward representatives including, Ward A ? Domingo Babajide, Ward B ? Kemi Aboyarin, Ward C ? Adediran Olorunnimbe, Ward D ? Taoreed Abiona, Ward E ? Alani Ifatokun, Ward F ? Oladunjoye Omoniyi, Ward G ? Olaofe Fatai, Ward H ? Idayat Abdul Rasaq, Ward I ? Shakiru Adebowale.

Ward representatives across all nine wards in Yaba LCDA, warned that the alleged imposition could undermine the party?s integrity and trigger unrest among loyal party members.

The signatories, who described themselves as the Apex Leadership of APC in Yaba, condemned the alleged imposition, warning that such action could provoke unrest among party members and jeopardise the APC?s credibility and electoral success in the area.

The letter urged the party?s leadership to urgently intervene and halt what they termed ?an external imposition,? warning that failure to do so could have damaging consequences on the party?s unity and prospects in future elections. (The Nation)
