APC Holds Two Parallel Congresses In Lagos, With Open Confrontation
The crisis rocking the ruling All Progressive Congress (APC) has entered another cruise control, as it seems the confrontation with National Leader of the Party, Asiwaju Tinubu and his boys may not be ending soon.
A faction loyal to Asiwaju Tinubu had made public the full results of their own congress even as the election of new party officers is just about to start at ACME Road.
Meanwhile, Muiz Banire and others are holding a parallel Congress at Airport Hotel, dismissing Tinubu’s Congress as illegal, citing that it is based on 57 Local Governments and theirs on the Constitutional 20 Local Governments as stipulated in the constitution of Nigeria.
Mr Banire who is the National Legal Adviser of APC, while addressing his supporters said, they will not surrender Lagos to those who only want to keep enriching themselves without the interest of the masses, saying that they will do everything possible to truncate the continued reign of Tinubu in Lagos.
At the end of today, APC in Lagos may produce two different state excos, and may lead to further chaos in the party.
