Meanwhile, one of the party executives told us that Faleke said he is working on Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu and party instructions that 19 former chairman with first term should return unopposed without primaries, a statement the party chairman Chief Henry Ajomale outrightly denied by saying ‘ that is not in the party constitution there must be a primary and party members must be allowed to decide on who they want as there representative in any political office’.

However, the youth in Ojodu who are presently at loggerheads with him (FALEKE) over on his plans to impose Hon. Julius Oloro on them as the LG chairman said may be he has forgotten how he took the party to court in Kogi over the issue of imposition.

Moreso, he said ‘ why I tagged Faleke agent of the devil sent to destroy Ojodu APC is that Faleke has since moved his party membership to Kogi and he still wants to be controlling us here in Lagos , that is not possible , you can’t eat your cake and have it. On this issue I am going to throw my weight behind the party excos, electorates and the youths in Ojodu and I am very sure Asiwaju will also want to protect the grassroot’. He said.
The old man also advice Faleke to re-instate the youth leader of his ward Mr Akeem whom he Suspend right inside his house with 8 out of 23 votes.
