The South-West chapter of the All Progressives Congress on Wednesday re-elected Isaacs Kekemeke as its National Vice Chairman for the zone.

Kekemeke and other zonal executive members emerged at the party’s South-West Zonal Congress held at the Mobolaji Johnson Stadium, Onikan, Lagos.

A total of 3,188 delegates from the six South-West states participated in the congress, where the executives were returned through a consensus arrangement ratified by voice vote.

Chairman of the Zonal Congress Committee, Jide Jimoh, said the adoption of consensus was in line with provisions of the Electoral Act.

Other officials elected include Femi Aluko (Secretary), Lateef Ibirogba (Organising Secretary), Ayo Afolabi (Publicity Secretary), Adeduyi Daramola (Youth Leader), Ismail Majaro (Legal Adviser), and Dayo Ishola (Representative of Persons with Disabilities).

Party leaders at the event pledged to deliver a landslide victory for Bola Ahmed Tinubu in the 2027 general election.

Among dignitaries present were Lagos State Governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu; Ogun State Governor, Dapo Abiodun; Ekiti State Governor, Biodun Oyebanji; and Ondo State Governor, Lucky Aiyedatiwa.

Also in attendance were a former Ogun State Governor, Olusegun Osoba; Lagos State Deputy Governor, Obafemi Hamzat; Speaker of the Lagos State House of Assembly, Mudasiru Obasa; and the APC governorship candidate in Osun State, Bola Oyebamiji, among others.

Speaking on behalf of the South-West governors, Sanwo-Olu described the congress as peaceful and reflective of the party’s unity in the region.

Sanwo-Olu said, “Today, we have seen the conduct of a free and fair election, following the provisions of the 2026 Electoral Act. This congress shows that the South-West is united and a formidable political bloc.”

The APC National Secretary, Ajibola Basiru, represented by the National Youth Leader, Dayo Israel, congratulated the new executives and urged them to work towards ensuring victory for the party in 2027.

In his remarks, Kekemeke expressed confidence in the party’s strength across the region, noting that it would improve its performance in the next general election.

The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has withdrawn the alleged money laundering suit it filed at the Federal High Court against Lagos Speaker Mudashiru Ajayi Obasa.

Naija News understands that the anti-graft did not give any particular reason for its application for withdrawal.

Following the application to withdraw, Justice Nicholas Oweibo discharged the ‘lien/Post No Debit’ placed on Obasa’s three accounts in Standard Chartered Bank.

The accounts are (US Dollars) 0001852063; (Current) 0001852056 and (Saving) 5002309624.

The judge also set aside the ex-parte orders he made on September 15, 2020, which led to the freezing of the accounts.

Recall that the court on September 15, 2020, granted an interim order freezing Obasa’s accounts following the EFCC’s application in a suit marked FHC/LCS/1064/2020.

The agency had said it was investigating the Speaker for the alleged offences of conspiracy, diversion of funds, abuse of office and money laundering.

But Justice Oweibo, on August 16, 2023, heard the application to unfreeze the accounts in his chamber.

During the hearing, the EFCC was represented by Mr. Sulaiman I. Sulaiman, while Obasa was represented by Mr. Adeyinka Olumide-Fusika (SAN).

The EFCC lawyer told the court that the application to unfreeze the accounts was pursuant to Section 44(2)(K) of the 1999 Constitution (as amended) and Sections 26, 29 and 34 (1) of the EFCC (Establishment) Act, 2004, and under the court’s inherent jurisdiction.

Section 44 of the Constitution concerns constitutional rights to property.

Justice Oweibo held: “It is hereby ordered that an order is hereby granted to the respondent/applicant setting aside the ex-parte orders of this court made on the 15th day of September 2020 upon the ex-parte motion of the Applicant/ Respondent in relation the funds of the Respondent/Applicant domiciled in the accounts stated in the following schedule:

“ACCOUNT NAME, FINANCIAL ACCOUNT INSTITUTIONS, TYPE OF ACCOUNT, 1. Mudasiru Ajayi Obasa, Standard Chartered, (US Dollars) 0001852063 2. Mudasiru Ajayi Obasa, Standard Chartered (Current) 0001852056 3. Mudashiru Ajayi Obasa, Standard Chartered (Saving) 5002309624.

“Issued at Lagos, under the seal of this Honourable Court and by the hands of the Presiding Judge this 16th day of August 2023.”

Give Akinwumi Ambode the gubernatorial ticket and watch Lagosians rally behind him massively, regardless of tribal or religious differences.

With him on the ballot, the APC in Lagos would have far less work to do in 2027.

From opinions across the streets of Lagos, Ambode seems to enjoy more support than other aspirants. The real question, however, is whether the Lagos GAC members and Baba Eko will back his return.

Fingers crossed!

So you agree that the ADC is a conglomeration of criminals ganging up to take over our Treasury.....if you are willing to convince us why we should choose your own criminals over the incumbent we might be willing to reconsider.
