There is serious fire on the mountain in the Lagos Island chapter of the All Progressives’ Congress, APC that if not extinguished fast, may consume the party at the general election, Naijahottestgist can exclusively tell you today.
Our checks reveal that two top party faithful, Wasiu Eshinlokun Sanni, a former chairman of Lagos Island LGA and Hakeem Masha, a one-term member of the state assembly are laying claims to the party ticket and despite several overtures by party leaders, they are refusing to compromise. How did the party get into this mess? Well, Naijahottestgist findings reveal that Eshinlokun, also the immediate past secretary of the party, has told all those who care to listen that it was Asiwaju that instructed him to pick the ticket so that he would eventually become Speaker of the House of Assembly.
But Eshinlokun reportedly made a tactical error with his failure to resign before the stipulated time. Thus, Masha defeated him at the primaries and his name was duly submitted to the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC. Typical of Tinubu’s authoritarian and unilateral imposition style, he decreed that Masha’s name be replaced with Eshinlokun’s, an order that has ruptured the unity in the constituency.
As if to prove that he calls the shot in the party, Tinubu’s wife, Senator Oluremi, during a senatorial rally days back, handed over the party flag to Eshinlokun to underscore the fact that he is the authentic flag bearer while Masha was denied entry into the venue of the rally.
When contacted, Joe Igbokwe, the APC publicity secretary in Lagos, denied knowledge of the rumpus. It is yet uncertain how the party would resolve the issue, calm all frayed nerves and present a common front at the elections.
