Members of the APC electoral panel sent from Abuja to conduct the Lagos governorship primary had a secret meeting with Akinwunmi Ambode, the state governor, on Monday, insiders have told TheCable.

The Clement Ebri-led committee was “holed up” at their hotel till 1pm on Tuesday while voting went on at the over 300 wards in Lagos, with results showing Jide Sanwo-Olu clearly in the lead.

But the committee later came out to disown the election, announcing that it was going to conduct a fresh primary.

TheCable understands that the panel — made up of Ebri, Ahmed Mahmud Gumel (secretary), Chidi Duru, Clever Egbeji, Clever Ikisikpo and Jerry Ugokwe — arrived Lagos on Monday and told the state chairman of APC, Tunde Balogun, that they wanted to meet with Ambode.

Balogun protested against the request, pointing out that it was improper since Ambode was one of the aspirants in the election, TheCable learnt.


The committee met with the governor on Monday

A senior party official told TheCable: “The committee members insisted that they must see Ambode. Balogun took them to Alausa to see him. After the photo session, Ambode invited the committee members for a private meeting.

“Balogun followed them in, but Ambode asked him to excuse them because he wanted a private chat. Balogun then left. After about 30 minutes, the committee members came out and said the governor had arranged Protea Hotel in Ikeja for them. They rejected the hotel provided by the state chapter of APC.

“They then went to the hotel while some interesting bags followed them later. They stayed in that hotel with two members of the Ambode campaign team. They were there all through Monday night till 1pm on Tuesday after party members had voted.”


Ebri announcing a fresh primary on Tuesday

The committee later addressed the media late Tuesday afternoon to deny knowledge of the primary that was held.

Ebri said at the press conference: “First and foremost, yesterday (Monday) we held a stakeholders meeting, certain submissions were made and on the basis of these submissions, I contacted the national headquarters and they asked us to adjust the procedures in line with the provisions.

“Having done that, we now had to reach out to the party executives to submit the ist that could be utilised for the purpose of posting officials to supervise the elections. The list only arrived at about an hour ago and so anything that was done without the list that we wanted, because we wanted harmony, so we had to wait for them.

“There was no way we could have gotten up at 8am, sat down in this place for about eight to nine hours without seeing anybody and then I would go ahead and do something. It is only fair that when you don’t see one party, you have to wait and be patient and that is what has brought us to point.”

He said the primary would start any moment “from now”, although he also said he was waiting for further instructions from the national headquarters.

Ambode has fallen out of favour with his godfather, Bola Tinubu, who has now openly canvassed for Sanwo-Olu.

Habib Aruna, chief press secretary to Ambode, could not be reached for comments as he neither answered calls nor replied a text message sent to him.

O my, this is hilarious.

You are struggling to make sense...

Benekruku:
His case is closed already

Sanwo Eko we know

temptnow:
Thiefnubuu continue your looting, in 1990s he was staying in a flat in London, 1999 they made him a governor after they murdered funsho Williams in his bedroom.
Today he's a billionaire collecting 15% of lagos generated revenue. And you people say God is not wonderful?

DeLaRue:



My reading of this is that Oshiomole was referring to APC primaries (at least the majority of them) held accross the cuountry, and not specifically that of Lagos. It was the reporter that ascribed the response to Lagos.

WritePal:


"Sanwo Eko you know." Lol. Do you? Tell us what you know about him, not the ones by "Baba sope."

People can assess Ambode and neutrals say he's 10 times better than Fashola and Tinubu were. How are they to assess your new kid wonder, Sanwo Olu, apart from. Tinubu's endorsement, as Tinubu thinks for you guys. Did you know about Sanwo Olu last month? Or even 2 weeks ago? Suddenly, he's the best because "Baba sowipe."

Lol. Tinubu's minions here be like "Clement Ebri and the rest of the electoral committee are Igbos. They hate Tinubu's plan. They want to scuttle his plans and plant an Ipob-supported governor."

Benekruku:


Face the reality staring at you

Nothing will return him

He is alone

On the conduct of the APC primaries in Lagos State on Tuesday, the APC chairman disclosed that the National Working Committee (NWC) was in charge of the primaries and that every situation had been put under control.


“I told the president that the primaries held as planned and everything is being done to ensure there is no violence because democracy doesn’t flourish with violence.

“Nigerians must begin to learn how to differ in opinion and in choice without fighting; this is something people have to acquire over time.

“For me, I’m excited that if we can do it in Lagos it can be done anywhere.


“Everything that is being done is done under the control, supervision and direction of the NWC.’’

Benekruku:



You have a right to broadcast your own news that suits you

Like I said, face reality staring at you

Taking side with a visibly lone man

ModsareChevres:


Those with him are stronger than those against him...

BecaciaBarbie:


Wow! Is that video for real Is that Uncle Adeleke oh .....if I had seen this video earlier, I wouldn't have wished he won.

Benekruku:


Who? Are they voting?

Are those with him coming out public to identify him

You dont know counts of those against this guy, cos if you do, you wont be here consoling yourself

Sannisege:
Even if Ambode manages to win the APC primaries, he will lose the general election in 2019

ModsareChevres:


This is more like it.

Benekruku, take note.

ModsareChevres:


It doesn't matter

What matters most now is that Ambode is favoured to pick the APC ticket...

ModsareChevres:
Ok

Didn't I tell Tinubu slaves cum lunatics that they are fighting a battle they can't win?

How can your president and other prominent party members be begging you on a matter and you give one flimsy excuse or the other not to budge

Tinubu's political doom is sealed...

Johnboom:
There are many things you don't know about Tinubu. Tinubu is just like USA while most of his powerful opponents are Russia. The strength of USA does not lies in USA alone but on his NATO and other allies. Tinubu build people that is while it will be longed before he would no longer be relevant .

Benekruku:


Who is voting

Is it auto ticket

Let the primaries hold a thousand times, it cant favour him

Right inside Alausa there, he will lose

MorbidAngel7:
Its Buhari Vs Tinubu..Who Will Blink First??

ModsareChevres:


Tinubu of course.
EFCC can't wait to have him.
