No credible congress was held in Lagos by APC
Salvador who is a leader of the Conscience Movement, a bloc within the APC, had expressed grievances over the outcome of the congresses of the party at the ward, local government and state congresses where members of his group were allegedly sidelined.
A former chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in the state said:
“Hardly do we have real democracy in Lagos state. It is a democratic challenge to all the big wigs that are coming out. It is a fantastic development even for Asiwaju. You can see that his health improved immediately that he now calls himself a youth.
“You could see him at the stadium (yesterday) coming out to say what exactly he wants to do for Nigeria, you can see him talking to the masses. He was all the while talking to the Obas, talking to Mr. President. Mr. President has only one vote. President Muhammadu Buhari’s vote is not bigger than mine, my vote is not bigger than yours. Therefore you can see the mood."
He stated that he chaired the event where Governor Yahaya Bello of Kogi state recently declared his presidential intention because he was invited as a leader of the party, saying it has nothing to do with ethnicity.
According to him, any aspirant can invite him as a mark of honour and respect.
