There Will Be Crisis In Lagos APC If Obasa Imposes His Son As Agege LG Chairman

The pressure group, known as Concerned Citizens of Agege in an open letter, stated that the people of Agege and Orile Agege can no longer keep quiet and watch as Obasa is bent on imposing his son on the party in the forthcoming local government election.

The group noted that while the son has the right to run for office, he should not be imposed on the people of Agege by Obasa. ‘there should be free and fair primaries where the people of Agege will pick who should be their candidate’

The group stated that they cannot serve Obasa for over a decade and at the same time serve his son, whom many described as a political lightweight on the people of Agege Local Government.

‘The good people of Agege and Orile Agege are no longer silent. We have endured decades of underperformance, political manipulation, and failed promises from the Father. Since his arrival in office, not a single meaningful empowerment programme has been delivered to the people. ‘Year after year, he collects constituency allowances meant for the development and upliftment of our communities, yet we see no trace of impact, no real empowerment, and no benefit to the people who trusted him with their votes.

‘We say NO to father and son. Public office is not a family heritage. Agege is not an empire to be inherited. The people deserve capable, proven Personalities, not political heirs who has never been involved in grassroots politics, never attended ward or LG meetings, and whose name is completely unknown to the political base.

To make matters worse, the father is also trying to impose another candidate in Orile Agege. Again, we say NO. The people of Orile Agege are not blind. We see through the games and reject this recycled leadership.

‘This is not democracy. This is a hijack of power. It is an insult to loyal party members and a betrayal of trust. This desperate political imposition is dead on arrival. Agege and Orile Agege deserve better, leaders who are qualified, present, and committed to true service. The era of being fooled is over. Let the voice of the people be louder than money, louder than manipulation, and louder than fear.
