Members of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) on Monday staged a protest at the Lagos State House of Assembly over an alleged imposition of appointees across the state.
The protesters in their numbers said they were protesting the imposition of appointees at the 20 Local Government Areas (LGA) and 37 Local Council Development Areas (LCDA) of the state.
They also demanded the immediate removal of the Chairman of the APC for Lagos State chapter, Cornelius Ojelabi.
Representing the 57 LGAs and LCDAs across the state, the protesters chanted songs and displayed placards with different inscriptions.
Some of the placards read, ‘Ojelabi Must Go’ and ‘We Want Fresh Leadership’ among others.
Also, security operatives have been deployed to the Lagos State House of Assembly to maintain law and order during the ongoing protest.
Speaking with the protesters, the Lagos State deputy governor, Kadri Hamzat who visited the location called for peace and calm.
Hamzat assured the aggrieved party members that the issue, which he described as a party affair, will be resolved in the shortest time possible.
