APC Leaders, Members Being Misled, Says Ambode

-

The Lagos State Governor, Akinwunmi Ambode, says that the leadership of All Progressives Congress (APC) and its members have been misled by campaigns of calumny against him.
According to him, they have been misled to believe that his opponent in the race to secure the ticket of the APC in 2019, is a better candidate than himself.
The governor said this on Sunday during a press briefing at the government house in Alausa, Ikeja, adding that the opponent is not fit to run for office.#
He said, “In the last two or three weeks, they’ve been putting a lot of campaign of calumny in the social media and also disparaging our personality and our character but when you see it, we’ve been extremely humble.
“We have never responded, we have never abused anybody because we believe that there is always a reason for us to come together as a family. We are one family in the APC.
“Now the truth is this, the aspirant that is being put up to compete against us is not a fit and proper person to take this position and they know the facts.
“This is the truth. Party leaders and even party members have been misled to understand that this is a better candidacy than myself.
“I have done everything in the last three and half years to serve people selflessly and to serve the poor and that’s why you see that most of the projects we are doing is about alleviating the sufferings of the poor and the only way out for us is to continue to do that in the next four years”.
He, therefore, appealed to the party’s leaders to have a re-think of their choice of candidate for the primary.

The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has revealed that it collected the list of candidates of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Rivers State because there was no court order or judgment barring it from doing so. The Supreme Court had on October 22, 2018, descended on the Port Harcourt Division of the Court of Appeal for granting an application in favour of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in respect of the conduct of the party’s congresses in the state. A five-man panel of the Supreme Court, in its unanimous judgment, held that the Court of Appeal committed “a sacrilegious exercise of discretion” by favouring the APC in its June 21, 2018, judgment despite the party’s decision to conduct its congresses in Rivers State in disobedience of subsisting orders of the court. The Supreme Court faulted the action of the APC, and described the conduct of the party’s ward, local government and state congresses of May 19, 20 and 21, 2018, respectively, in River
