By OLASUNKANMI AKONI & IFEANYI OKOLIE
IKEJA—Ahead of the October 22 local government election in Lagos State,  hundreds of aggrieved members of the Action Congress of Nigeria, ACN, yesterday,  stormed the party secretariat in Ogba, Lagos State House of Assembly, Alausa, and took to the major streets in Isolo Local Government Area to protest alleged imposition of candidates.

The state party had, Monday, released the names of candidates to be fielded in the council polls in the 20 local government areas and 37 local council development areas.

The protesters, who accused state party chairman, Chief Henry Ajomale, of not following due process, called on the party’s National Leader, Senator Bola Tinubu, Governor Babatunde Fashola and members of the state assembly to intervene immediately. failing which they would disrupt the polls.

Also, major streets in Isolo LCDA   witnessed massive protest as aggrieved residents, traditional chiefs and politicians stormed the Osolo of Isolo palace to register their grievances.

The protesters, who walked from Isolo Bus- Stop to the palace of Osolo of Isolo, Oba Kabiru Agbabiaka, said the party did not hold primaries but arbitrarily chose Olaleye, the incumbent chairman, as the candidate for the forthcoming election.

Lagos council poll: PDP aspirants protest imposition of candidates

| Print | E-mail
Tuesday, 27 September 2011
Ahead of the forthcoming elections into local government and local council development areas, aspirants in the Lagos State chapter of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) are protesting alleged plans to impose candidates on the party

To ventilate their anger, some of the aspirants, on Monday, protested plans by some forces within the party to impose candidates, especially in Alimosho Local Government Area and its five other LCDAs.

Party members, numbering over 500, carried placards with various inscriptions, urging the PDP leadership in the local government and the state to allow direct primaries to pick their preferred candidates.

Specifically, they accused the local government chapter of the party of showing preference for non-members at the expense of members, with the protesting members stating that they would vote against the party if transparency was not observed in the process of picking candidates.

Speaking on behalf of others, a chairmanship aspirant for Agbado-Oke-Odo LCDA, Alhaja Tawa Oyebamiji-Bakare, said the leadership of the party in the local government had decided to flout PDP’s rules on selection of candidates, by hand picking standard-bearers.

Also, non-indigenes, on Monday, protested attempts by some highly placed leaders to exclude them and their candidates from participating in the forthcoming polls.

dayokanu:

They can move to a more democratic PDP

ACN imposes candidates, live with it or ship out

dayokanu:

ACN imposes candidates.

If you are not cool with it go to parties who dont impose.

Its what the party does, So why complain? You can join another party if you dont like ACN's ways

Beaf:

That is primitive enough, but much worse is that they engage each other with evil spirits and summon Lucifer in vengeful primordial political gang wars like a set of tree-top dwellers in these modern times. Its very deeply embarrassing.

No!

leleri:

olurunda local gov in badagry, the chairman inflated contracts, he sends thugs everywhere, uncompleted projects are been paid for in full , no good road, no water , no good health care delivery system, now they have picked the guy for 2nd term.

na wa o

leleri:

POINTB

Its quite unfortunate, anyway i will leave u 2 run your mouth.

If ACN maintains people like the olorunda LG chairman in their party then there is a problem, bloody illiterate who cant even speak one correct sentence how much more deliver good governance and dividend of democracy

Surulere LGA presently the vice chairman of LG is the party's candidate, the man who collected 40m contract to renovate the council, the contract was never done.

Ward E1 in Surulere there you have a danfo driver as the councillorship candidate all because the sister is the party's national woman leader brother when u have better qualified candidate than dis man .

we are watching Ajomale.

Demdem:

Do you mind those clowns

I am totally disappointed in you today man.I usually look at you as someone with political manifesto but with this type of comment i am now sconvinced that you won't be better than Tinubu or bankole,i was thinking you are the only detribalized political minded person on this forum now you have proven to me and the rest of the world that you are tribalistic politician wannabe.Man Nairaland has nothing in this political section.

Demdem:

My friend, be disappointed in ursef. Someone posted a topic suggesting imposition is meant for ACN and i supported a motion that tends to suggest that the problem isnt an ACN issue alone but cut across all parties in the country (though not of the same level)and now u think am for ACN by that position of urs.
Abegii think whatever.
also to add more injury to ur dissapointment, i dont like ACN as a party(though i prefer them to the killer party) but i appreciate the efforts of Asiwaju Tinubu in our present democratic process. Now go kill ursef. Nonsense

9ja_I_hail:

You displayed more of your low life in a public forum.Well this is a good eyes opener atleast for we to know who is who. nonses

Demdem:
