It has come to my
attention that a rent-a-crowd rally is being organised by
one Mr. Seye Oladejo, former Chairman of Mushin Local Government and the
current Commissioner for Special Duties in Lagos State with the assistance of
some elements to destroy the democratic aspirations of the people.
The said rally is
being planned to hold on Tuesday the 18th day of July, 2017. It is
saddening to note that not satisfied with the several threat to life messages
emanating from their quarters and addressed to me to intimidate me, these
rudderless agents of anti-democratic practices in Lagos State have perfected
plans to carry out a financially induced protest march against me in order to
impose their soulless campaign of imposition of candidates against the people
of Lagos State.
We use this medium to
reiterate that no amount of campaign of calumny or threat to life shall deter me
from maintaining my principled position on the need to allow internal democracy
in our great party, All Progressives Congress.
This is
uncompromisable in order to instil sanity in our democratic experiment and
allow progressive development in Nigeria. As the National Legal Adviser of APC,
I am the custodian of the constitution of our great party and the counsellor of
the party on legal matters.
It would be most
destructive to find me lending my weight in favour of imposition of candidates
on the members of the party in order to promote a culture of personality cult
advancement being nursed and nurtured by the likes of the organisers of this
conscienceless rally.
I hereby notify the
general members of the public and our progressive members of APC not to be
confused by these agents of dictatorship who would level allegation of
anti-democratic stance against other political parties in power but would
savour every bit of dictatorship when they hold the reins of power.
A life without a
worthy principle is not worth living.
