Lagos APGA Sacks Chairman For Supporting Ambode

The Lagos State chapter of the All
Progressive Grand Alliance has sacked
its chairman, Adeshina Olayokun, for
supporting Governor Akinwunmi
Ambode’s election bid.
The party said it was shocked when less
than 10 days to the governorship
election, Olayokun openly declared
support for Ambode of the All
Progressives Congress even though APGA
had decided to support the governorship
candidate of the Peoples Democratic
Party, Mr. Jimi Agbaje.
The party said in a statement on Monday
that it had picked Mr. Kayode Alabi as
Olayokun’s successor.
The new chairman noted in his
acceptance speech that the party would
face challenges ahead but that the party
would overcome.
Alabi promised to restore the credibility
of APGA in Lagos State and run an open
and transparent administration.
He added that the change of guard came
at the right time when the state chapter
of the party was in need of people with
integrity.
The statement added, “Alabi explained
that Olayokun’s act of taking APGA
supporters to the APC embarrassed and
ridiculed stakeholders of APGA. This is
one of the issues my office will deal with.
The mission I and my team can promise
is to restore the credibility of APGA in
Lagos State and to run an open and
transparent administration.”
Earlier, the Chairman of the Convention
Planning Committee, Ifeanyichukwu
Akata, charged the delegates to be “true
party men and women and carry out
their duties honourably by picking
officers that have what it takes to pilot
the affairs of the party and to move the
party forward in the state.”
Akata emerged the party’s deputy state
chairman. Other officers elected at the
convention were Chief Sunny Adoke
(secretary) and Chief Michael Ezekwobi
(treasurer).
