Some aggrieved members of Action Congress of Nigeria, Ward ‘G’ Kosofe Local Government Area, Lagos, Nigeria, have called on the state executive of the party to intervene in the crisis rocking the party at the ward level.
Mr. Olayiwola Samuel and Ismail Gbademoshi who led other aggrieved members accused the leadership of the party at ward level of lack of transparency, high handedness and not carrying members along in the party’s activities. This they said deprived them of being abreast of activities at the state level of the party.
They appealed to the state executive of the party to dissolve the ward executive and reconstitute a new one, but requested for interim executive committee pending the time a new executive would be constituted.
“We want the state executive to intervene in the crisis. For the past four months, there has been nothing like ward meetings and for about two years the leadership of the party has refused to give account of their stewardship.
“We the members do not know how the party is being run and we want the executive that has been there for more than eight years dissolved and let another team take over the mantle of leadership,†the aggrieved members said.
When P.M.NEWS contacted the ward chairman, Mr. Olatunde a.k.a Oyinbo on phone, he said the state executive has demanded for the report of activities but that he could not say much on the matter.
