Lagos APC has warned once again that unless Nigeria is a banana republic
there is no reason why Senator Obanikoro’s name will be considered again
for a Ministerial position given his deep involvement in Ekitigate
election scandal.
In a release issued in Lagos by the State Publicity Secretary, Mr. Joe
Igbokwe, the Party says Nigeria must not continue to reward persons with
questionable and dubious character in a nation where good and quality
people are not in short supply.
“Ekitigate scandal is such a weighty and monumental fraud that cannot be
swept under carpet as it rocks and undermines the very foundation of our
democratic journey”
“Senator Obanikoro and his forty thieves in Ekitigate scandal must be
brought to book to serve as a deterrent to others. When offenders are not
punished the hearts of the people are schemed to continue to do wrong”
“What is the purpose of reappointing Senator Obanikoro who has just lost
an election in Lagos as a Minister if not to continue to use the exalted
position to plunder our common patrimony at this critical point in the
nation’s history”
“Senator Obanikoro must be kicked in the ass and thrown out of the
hallowed chamber of the National Assembly for decimating and desecrating
our hard-earned democracy”
“With this singular act of representing this very bad and ugly candidate,
the President is sending the wrong signals to the world that Nigeria is a
nation of anything goes”
“We in Lagos APC reject Senator Obanikoro, we denounce this reappointment,
and we strongly urge the Senate to throw him away in the interest of the
country and democracy”
