Tinubu Blasts Party Leaders Over Loss To PDP

National leaders of All Progressives Party, APC, and former
Governor of Lagos State, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu has
expressed disappointment over the loss of five House of
Representatives seats to Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, in the
March 28th, presidential and National Assembly elections.
Tinubu stated this at an emergency stakeholders meeting to
review last election and strategize for the Saturday
governorship and state house of assembly election, held at
APC Lagos Secretariat, Ikeja.
Those in attendance at the meeting were: State Chairman of
the party, Chief Henry Ajomale, Senator elects, Oluremi
Tinubu, Gbenga Ashafa and Olamilekan Adeola, Demola
Seriki, all state party leaders among others.
According to Tinubu, who reeled out some of the results
across the local government areas in the state, “You, the
party leaders have disappointed us. For the first time, we lost
five House of Representatives seats to the opposition party,
this is unacceptable, a huge disappointment.
Though in politics you win some you loose some You have
failed. So there is no excuse to fail this time.
“Also you did not come out in large number, were you
afraid.? You have no cause to be afraid as adequate security
is on ground to protect you and your property.
So don’t be intimidated by their sporadic shooting of guns
meant to scare you away from doing your civic right. The
Hausa communities had a very good and encouraging turn-
out, we expect better performance this time.”
Tinubu who lambasted the leaders for failing to adequately
mobilize the people, including party agents across the wards,
charged them to redeem their in-action or be changed
according to the slogan of the party.
He stressed that despite APC confidence to continue in the
state, the party can not afford to miss it again in the next
election as its too risky to leave Lagos in the hands of those
without experience.
