For the first time, we lost five House of Representatives seats to the opposition party, this is unacceptable, a huge disappointment,\u201d Tinubu said.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">\u201cThough in politics you win some you lose some, you have failed. So there is no excuse to fail this time.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">\u201cAlso you did not come out in large number, were you afraid.? You have no cause to be afraid as adequate security is on ground to protect you and your property. So don\u2019t be intimidated by their sporadic shooting of guns meant to scare you away from doing your civic right. The Hausa communities had a very good and encouraging turn-out, we expect better performance this time,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Tinubu who lambasted the leaders for failing to adequately mobolise the people, including party agents across the wards, charged them to redeem their in-action or be changed according to the slogan of the party.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">He stressed that despite APC confidence to continue in the state, the party could not afford to fail again in the coming elections as it was too risky to leave Lagos in the hands of those without experience.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"base-card-clear\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Related Posts generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, the national leader of the All Progressives Congress (APC) and the former governor of Lagos state, has expressed his disappointment over the loss of five House&hellip;<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on wp_trim_excerpt --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on wp_trim_excerpt --><!-- AddThis Related Posts generic via filter on wp_trim_excerpt --><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":33231,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_lmt_disableupdate":"","_lmt_disable":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[17],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-37698","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-exclusive"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.8 -
