The APC members, who were from Irepodun/Ifelodun State Constituency II, accused the State Working Committee, led by Mr Paul Omotoso, of working with some people in government to force Jamiu on them.
“The purpose of this protest is to let our party APC, know that it can not afford to impose someone who is widely deemed unpopular on all of us, unless we want to lose to opposition. Dipe, however, said the party and those opposing the candidature of Jamiu had no right to stop the deputy speaker from re-contesting, saying“We are not going to impose anybody. We are not planning to impose. The party will conduct free and fair primary, but we will not stop Hakeem Jamiu from seeking a second term, it is his right.
“We are running a disciplined party and these protesters should allow peace and concentrate their energies on how we can win, because we are not planning any imposition,” Dipe said.
