APC Members Protest Over Desmond Elliot’s Victory in Lagos

There was a small fracas after Nollywood actor, Desmond Elliot won the APC primary elections yesterday for the State house of assembly ticket in Surulere very close to the Local Government. Some party members who felt the election wasn’t free and fair protested by burning some APC fliers they spotted around. Some even said the actor won because of his many godfathers in the party.  

Still on APC, newly announced APC gubernatorial ticket winner, Ambode Akinwumi has said he won his party’s primaries because he was the only candidate that visited all the 20 local governments to consult with the people. So it was a matter of people believing in him.

“I won because I visited all the 20 local governments to consult with the people at the grassroots and this is the result that you are seeing,” he said shortly after winning the election. He also congratulated those that win for coming out in the first place and urged them to set aside their personal ambitions for the progress of the party and state.
