Lagos APC will adopt consensus candidates for the October congress

The Lagos APC Caretaker Committee has reiterated the likelihood of using consensus arrangements to elect state executives at the state congress on October 2.

Seye Oladejo, the party’s spokesman in the state, gave this indication on Thursday.

During the Ward and local government congresses on July 31 and September 4, the ruling party used the consensus option to elect its executives.

Mr. Oladejo stated that the consensus arrangement would be repeated in the upcoming state congress election in order to reduce acrimony within the party when officials are elected.

Mr Oladejo stated, “The national headquarters has advised the state chapter to consider a consensus arrangement for the state congress as well,” adding, “I believe this will be adopted for the national convention.” “I’m sure you’re also aware that, in order to save money, the party constitution allows for a consensus candidate option.”

According to him, the party had “resolved and directed officers of our party” at all levels to engage in dialogue in order to bring aggrieved APC members back together.

Babatunde Balogun, the APC Lagos chairman, also assured members of the party’s readiness to ensure a smooth election on October 2.

The chairman explained that the party’s national leadership had made all necessary preparations to ensure the exercise’s success.
