APC Lagos Rally: LP calls for Tinubu daughter’s arrest
The Labour Party (LP) has called for the immediate arrest and prosecution of the Iyaloja General of Lagos State, Folashade Tinubu-Ojo, a daughter of the 2023 presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC).
According to a statement made available to newsmen on Monday by the National Publicity Secretary of the party, Arabambi Abayomi, the Iyaloja allegedly coaxed traders who failed to attend the Women’s rally in support of her father’s presidential ambition to pay N5,000 or be shut down.
Arabambi said the action of the APC is “not in consonant with the tenets of Democracy”.
He said that the call became necessary following complaints by the affected traders while bemoaning the recurring attacks on members of the party and their offices in Lagos State.
“Section 40 of the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria 1999 provides as follows: “Every person shall be entitled to assembly freely and associate with other persons, and in particular he may form or belong to any political party, trade union or any association for the protection of his interests,” he noted.
Recalling an alleged attack on “the party’s offices in Ajegunle and other areas in Lagos,” Comrade Abayomi, disclosed efforts made by the party to enable a harmonious political environment in the state.
The statement, however, accused the Police Command in the state of refusing “to act on its clarion calls to create an enabling environment for all politicians in Lagos irrespective of their party’s affiliation.”
