party, All Progressives Congress, which was held on Saturday, experienced a huge setback as a result of divisions within the party.


SaharaReporters learnt that in Lagos State, the ruling party APC had three parallel congresses with one of the factions led by a former governor, Akinwunmi Ambode.

SaharaReporters gathered that the national leadership of the party under Yobe State Governor, Mala Buni, recognised Ambode’s faction and his list of executives which is part of a coup and ongoing efforts to weaken the influence of the National Leader of the party, Bola Tinubu.

Top sources revealed that Ambode's faction was sponsored by Buni, who is the Chairman, Caretaker/Extraordinary Convention Planning Committee so as to weaken Tinubu in his perceived stronghold.

“Lagos APC had three separate congresses; the people elected in Ambode’s faction and congress are backed by Buni. It is a coup against Tinubu,” a top source revealed.

SaharaReporters obtained the list of the state executives elected by Ambode's faction; they are; Beatrice Omotayo Tugbobo, Chairman; Alhaji Dauda, Vice-chairman; Hon. Prince Adedeji Osho, Secretary; Hon. Akewushola Onoyemi, treasurer; Balogun Adekunle Hameed, Publicity Secretary; Youth Leader, Buhari Babajide Jimoh and Woman Leader, Ashafa Salawat.

Others are: Financial Sec, Prince Moruf.A. Anibire; Organizing Sec., Olamiji Alilu; Auditor, Adeosun Iyiola Abiodun; Legal Adviser, Wasiu Adeyemi Sulaimon; Youth Leader, Adelaja Moruf; Welfare Officer, Olusegun Moruf Bello; Ex-officer 1, Ibrahim Misbau Omoniyi; Ex-officer 2, Babatunde Collins Davies.

SaharaReporters had last weekend reported how ailing Tinubu quietly returned to the country after months of extensive medical treatments in the United Kingdom and the United States.

It had also been reported that the APC in Lagos State had sent out a circular to its leaders across the state informing them that the Sunday welcome party being organised for Tinubu would not be held as earlier scheduled.

SaharaReporters had learnt that the APC sent the circular, signed by Alhaji Tunde Balogun (APC State Chairman), and Alhaji Maroun Are (GAC Secretary) to the party leaders believably at the ward and local government levels, without giving a specific reason for the change of plan.

SaharaReporters, however, gathered that the cancellation was due to the exclusive report published by this medium, which forced them to abort it abruptly.

In the circular obtained by SaharaReporters, the APC leaders were told that a new arrangement for welcoming Tinubu would be announced later.

“Dear leader/GAC member, you are hereby informed of change in plans/arrival of our National Leader billed for Sunday. Due to unforeseen circumstances, the plans/arrival have been put on hold. A new plan/arrival will be unfolded soon. Sorry for any inconvenience this hold may have caused. Thank you,” the notice had said.

SaharaReporters had reported that Tinubu confirmed that he went through a challenging health crisis, saying his “physiotherapy was gruesome.”

Tinubu said this while addressing members of the House of Representatives northern caucus who visited him in London last Friday.

The former governor, who had been in the United Kingdom for the last three months since undergoing knee surgery, told the gathering, “Because of God and people like you, I am well. It is just the physio (physiotherapy) that is gruesome.”

Since his departure, Tinubu’s London home has become a mecca of sorts as he has been visited by President Muhammadu Buhari, the Speaker of the House of Representatives, Femi Gbajabiamila; Governors Abdullahi Ganduje (Kano),

Dapo Abiodun (Ogun), Babajide Sanwo-Olu (Lagos), Rotimi Akeredolu (Ondo), and Kayode Fayemi (Ekiti).

SaharaReporters had reported that Tinubu underwent knee surgery at the John Hopkins University Hospital in Maryland, US.

The APC chieftain, it was learnt, left the US for the United Kingdom on crutches, a few days after the surgery.

Sources close to Tinubu told SaharaReporters that he wanted the surgery in Paris, France but changed his plan after rumours of his death spread in Nigeria.

“Tinubu had his second surgery at John Hopkins University in Maryland recently. He was accompanied by a popular Nigerian doctor in Chicago. He had wanted the surgery in Paris but when rumour was rife about his death, he hurriedly left for Nigeria and went to John Hopkins,” one of the sources had said.

"He left the US for the UK on crutches," another source revealed.

SaharaReporters had on July 31 reported that Tinubu, who has had several medical trips this year alone, had surgery about two weeks earlier and could be billed for another one.

The APC National Leader has been off official and party functions in the country for a while, amidst talks that he is being positioned for the 2023 presidency to succeed the incumbent repressive regime of Buhari.

The APC state congress which held nationwide on Saturday did not hit a crisis only in Lagos but in most states of the South-West.

Earlier today, two persons were said to have sustained injuries from gunshots fired by some unidentified persons who invaded the venue of the state Congress organised by a faction of the All Progressives Congress in Osogbo, Osun State.

The incident happened around 12.50 pm after the congress organised by the Osun Progressives, a faction of APC backed by the Minister of Interior, Rauf Aregbesola, had commenced the process of electing new executives.

A car with about five occupants that were armed with guns was seen driving along Osogbo/Gbongan Road towards the entrance to the venue of the Congress.

The vehicle was eventually prevented from advancing to the entrance to the venue of the Congress held at Ladsol Bus Stop, Ogo Oluwa, Osogbo, by another group leading to an exchange of gunshots between the two groups.

Also, in Ogun state, the Ake palace in Abeokuta was cordoned off by police officers believed to be from the Ogun State Police Command and officers of the Department of the State Security Services.

The officers had allegedly been sent by the faction of the APC loyal to Governor Dapo Abiodun to lock up the venue of the parallel congress of those members loyal to former Governor Ibikunle Amosun, preventing party faithful from gaining access.

Many people believed to have been mobilised for the parallel congress were seen loitering around the palace, and unable to enter the venue.

Meanwhile, the national leadership of the ruling All Progressives Congress suspended the congress in Oyo over “irregularities”.

Perhaps they want to groom Ambode with supreme arrogance, all in an attempt to dethrone Tinubu from his position as the political emperor of Lagos State, but is Ambode capable of that fit?
I doubt he is!!

Sowore the adopted Son of IpOB Terrorists...

Wow!

So Ambode has this kind of balls but couldn’t hold his forth during the governorship election.

But it’s better late than never.

Tinubu, his ambition and his zombies are in the mud

This is music to my ear.

I pray Buni truly accepts Ambode list let me see what Tinubu and his idiots will do.

I feel your sifia pain

If pdp keep supporting Peter Hoebi.... I will support Tinubu

Buni is only playing his last card, which is life line. Let us hope it will ends well, because the real game is yet to start and they will show him politics, even within his camp.

Sahara reporters? Believe them at your own peril

That will be one hell of a roforofo fight.
This people will mess the jagaban up.
A lot will unfold before 2023.
If the jagaban contest there will mess him up big time.
This I have seen.

Don't be surprised if efcc picks Ambode tomorrow

Daily trust, Business day and Vanguard.

Doubt it but who knows... It's interest innit
Only time will make it unravel

I support the faction of his Excellency Akinwumi Ambode

It's time to teach Tinubu a lesson for disgracing Ambode

Sowore is reporting nonsense and falsehood. The report is probably sponsored to create confusion by throwing around Buni's name. Before the congress was held, the National secretariat sent an official from Abuja to validate and monitor the authentic event at the approved venue, in this case Adelabu (the Oyo APC governorship candidate in 2019) was sent to the state to witness and oversee the conduct of the congress.

The one that Adelabu attended along with INEC is the only authentic one recognised by the National secretariat. Any other 'factional' congress is an exercise in futility. The national secretariat itself already made that declaration that no parallel Congress would be recognised.

Tinubu must contest

Even the trash outfits you dey quote know how much dem don make from your small boy sense.

For your village state wey you come from, you go fit replace a single political camp wey produce VP, Ministers, HOR speaker, governor, all the HoA, Senators, LGAs and incumbent exco because one random guy wey neva chop type and post it on those hungry platforms you dey share.

Sowore and nonsense sha

Ambode is like "he that is down need fear no fall".
This was the main reason he was removed in the first instance, because if was still there by now as a second term governor, Tinubu would not be able to control him. If this news is true, then Ambode is about to truncate Tinubu's presidential ambition. Karma is about to raise its urgly head. But a note of caution ... Ambode should be very careful and ensure high security apparatus is provided for him by his sponsors. I am sure he remembers what happened to Funsho Williams

Wahala dey

Tinubu is about to be disgraced
