Must read

Former Governor of Lagos State and National Leader of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Bola Ahmed Tinubu has made his displeasure known over the loss of five Federal House of Representatives seats in Lagos in the just concluded Federal elections held on Saturday, March 28, 2015.

Speaking at an emergency meeting with party stakeholders at the APC Secretariat in Ikeja, Lagos, Tinubu said the development was unacceptable.

Those present at the meeting included the APC Lagos Chairman, Henry Ajomale, Senators Oluremi Tinubu, Gbenga Ashafa and Olamilekan Adeola among others.

Tinubu fumed: “You, the party leaders have disappointed us. For the first time, we lost five House of Representatives seats to the opposition party. This is unacceptable. It is a huge disappointment. Though in politics, you win some , you lose some, you have failed. So there is no excuse to fail this time.

“Also, you did not come out in large numbers. Were you afraid? You have no cause to be afraid as there was adequate security to protect you and your property. So don’t be intimidated by the sporadic shootings, meant to scare you away from doing your civic rights. The Hausa communities had a very good and encouraging turn-out, we expect better performance this time.”
