The All Progressives Congress (APC) Lagos State chapter on Saturday described the rumoured crisis in the party as imaginary.
The Lagos chapter also warned ‘unscrupulous elements’ to desist from spreading such unfounded rumours in a statement issued by Its Publicity Secretary, Seye Oladejo
He noted that it won’t yield to any form of blackmail and distraction, not at this critical time of the electioneering campaign, adding that those sponsoring fictitious reports in the media against the party and its chairman in the state, Cornelius Ojelabi are labouring in vain.
The publicity secretary said anybody who has grievances should resort to approaching the leadership of the party rather than unnecessary media onslaught.
The Lagos APC also passed a vote of confidence in its chairman, Ojelabi while defending him that he remained undaunted, unfazed and undistracted from the onerous assignment at hand.
Oladejo observed that since Ojelabi became chairman, he has been able to leverage his experience on unifyng the party, breaking barriers and placating aggrieved members.
The spokesman said “he has a reputation as a team player, humble, selfless and considerate. He consults far and wide before taking decisions on party affairs.
