• Lagos APC Stakeholders Demand Fair Primaries
• Accuse GAC Members Of Cornering Appointments For Family Members, Cronies
• Say President Must Intervene Before It’s Too LateAbout four years ago, precisely June 2020, the Lagos APC, through the GAC, disbanded the two major groups within the party, Justice Forum and Mandate Group. The 27-member GAC group then said the move was to strengthen unity within the party.In party politics, appointment is supposed to be a kind of remuneration for members, who worked for the success of the party during elections although in doing so, necessary cognizance must be placed on competence and capacity. Lagos APC members are however uncomfortable with how the government appears to have placed more emphasis on appointing technocrats, who are not members of the party and who don’t share the party’s ideology or understand its inner workings, into offices.On how these affect governance, some members of the party said one of the reasons local councils seem not to function appropriately is because the majority of the council chairmen are stooges of their godfathers and so dare not do anything without deferring to them.
