APC primaries: Sanwo-Olu’s victory a hatchet job – Group

A pro-democracy group, Lagos Solidarity Forum, has raised the alarm
that Lagos State was being pushed to the precipice by enemies of
democracy in the state.

A statement signed and issued yesterday by the group's convener,
Comrade Mark Adebayo, said the state's All Progressives Congress, APC,
governorship primary which produced Mr. Babajide Sanwo-Olu as the
party's standard bearer was a hatchet job.

The statement said: "Every society that has ceased to exist starts
from the point of aggravated injustice that provokes intractable
anarchy.

"Unfortunately, Lagos State is being pushed in the direction of that
precipice by forces which can best be described as, not only enemies
of democracy, but enemies of the people. These same forces have been
responsible for the mobile retrogression of Nigeria since 1999 that we
have moved into civilian governance. Their weapons have been
domination, imposition and brazen overthrow of the people's mandate.

"The shameful shenanigan orchestrated by the APC governorship primary
committee chaired by Clement Ebri, the former Cross River State
governor erroneously thought to be a man of impeccable integrity was
another hatchet's job executed in the service of merchants of
inhumanity and derogation of all elements of societal value.

"The time has come for Lagosians to rise up through a mass action to
liberate ourselves."
