Tinubu Blasts Party Leaders Over Loss To PDP

National leaders of All Progressives Party, APC, and former Governor
of Lagos State, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu has expressed disappointment
over the loss of five House of Representatives seats to Peoples
Democratic Party, PDP, in the March 28th, presidential and National
Assembly elections.

Tinubu stated this at an emergency stakeholders meeting to review last
election and strategize for the Saturday governorship and state house
of assembly election, held at APC Lagos Secretariat, Ikeja.

Those in attendance at the meeting were: State Chairman of the party,
Chief Henry Ajomale, Senator elects, Oluremi Tinubu, Gbenga Ashafa and
Olamilekan Adeola, Demola Seriki, all state party leaders among
others.

According to Tinubu, who reeled out some of the results across the
local government areas in the state, "You, the party leaders have
disappointed us. For the first time, we lost five House of
Representatives seats to the opposition party, this is unacceptable, a
huge disappointment.

Though in politics you win some you loose some You have failed. So
there is no excuse to fail this time.

"Also you did not come out in large number, were you afraid.? You have
no cause to be afraid as adequate security is on ground to protect you
and your property. So don't be intimidated by their sporadic shooting
of guns meant to scare you away from doing your civic right. The Hausa
communities had a very good and encouraging turn-out, we expect better
performance this time."

Tinubu who lambasted the leaders for failing to adequately mobolise
the people, including party agents across the wards, charged them to
redeem their in-action or be changed according to the slogan of the
party.

He stressed that despite APC confidence to continue in the state, the
party can not afford to miss it again in the next election as its too
risky to leave Lagos in the hands of those without experience.
