Murder Of Alhaji Azeez Asake :Lagos APC Warns PDP

The Lagos State Chapter of the All Progressive Congress, APC has warned
that if Senator Obanikoro and his boys called the Abija group are not
called to order,they may create further crisis, that will lead to
bloodshed in Lagos.

“After the PDP South-west Rally in Lagos yesterday one Alhaji Azeez Asake
of APC was shot and killed by the notorious Abija group led by one
Olokodana and Ade lawyer loyal to Senator Musliu Obanikoro; a junior
Minister in the Ministry of Defense.”

“Two weeks ago the same murderous group shot and killed one Wasiu Lawal in
Ajah where APC members are holding their weekly meetings. Police in Ajah
are still investigating the crime but no arrest has been made. In
yesterday’s shootings we are yet to hear that arrest has been made to
bring the murderers to justice.”

“In 2007 when Senator Obanikoro was a PDP candidate for Lagos Governorship
race, similar brigandage and shootings were recorded in Oregun Ikeja,
Lagos which left scores wounded when the Senator ordered his boys to shoot
innocent Action Congress (AC) members where they were holding a meeting.’’

‘’We have it on record that Senator Musliu Obanikoro has been a violent
politician who uses every means possible to achieve the desires of his
heart irrespective of the feelings of others. Obanikoro is violent,
ruthless and dangerous and he sees politics as a do or die affair, and
this must be an embarrassment to the Ministry of Defense where he is a
junior Minister.’’

‘’Lagos APC warns that it may resort to self-help if its teeming
supporters cannot be protected from excesses of Lagos PDP by the nation’s
law enforcement agencies, as nobody has a monopoly of violence.’’

‘’For the South-west PDP rally held at TBS Lagos yesterday, we want
President Goodluck Jonathan to call for the video recording of that event
to see whether the motley crowd we all saw yesterday justified the huge
amount he dished out to the organizers’’.
