Cornelius Ojelabi, the Lagos State chairman of the All Progressives Congress has explained why President Bola Tinubu called for the ban of Mandate and Justice Forums groups within the party.
Speaking at the victory celebration organised by the Lagos State Commissioner for Home Affairs, Ojelabi urged party members to remain United ahead of the upcoming 2025 local government elections.
Stating that unity is important for the party to secure positions at the poll, the chairman said no candidate has ever secured a ticket under the groups.
His words, “If you look back, since you have joined the party, no candidate has secured a ticket under Justice or Mandate Forum.
“It is through the party that members secured tickets. Let us, therefore, embrace one another, be truthful and shun segregation. That’s why President Tinubu asked us to ban the groups.”
He further urged the party members and leaders to ensure they work together to deliver the dividends of democracy to the people who have entrusted them to serve.
