“In a desperate bid to recover huge grounds lost to the opposition, the ruling APC (All Progressives Congress) has let out its arsenal of thugs led by a serving member of the House of Representatives, David Zechariah and one Odu Akowe.
“In what they regarded as a “test-run” they harmed, maimed hapless individuals in Ajaka and destroyed property from Ajaka all through to Aloma.

‘APC Campaign Council May Ruin Tinubu’s Ambition, Continues To Favour Outsiders’ – Tinubu Support Group
The Presidential Campaign Council (PCC) of the All Progressive Congress (APC) may ruin the ambition of its flag bearer, Bola Tinubu, in the February 25 election if not reconstituted.
The National Coordinator of Disciples of Jagaban (DOJ), a Tinubu Support Group, Comrade Abdulhakeem Adegoke Alawuje, made this known in a statement on Wednesday.
Alawuje also accused the APC PCC of favouring those who did not labour for the party and those who are not working for Tinubu’s victory in the forthcoming presidential poll.
He said the PCC and the APC were not being fair to those that meant well for the victory of the party in the forthcoming general elections.
He said the recent resignation of Naja’atu Muhammad is a signal to the insincerity of the managers of the PCC itself by appointing those that did not mean well for the party.
The statement reads: “The PCC knows the sincere Tinubu loyalists but are merely frustrating them by placing and engaging the insincere ones. So the result is what we’ve just seen in the resignation of Mrs Naja’atu Muhammad.
They unmistakably entrusted the responsibility of real loyalists into the hands of fake loyalists rather than consider those who have proved themselves as undisputed and undiluted lovers of Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu.”
