According to the APC chairman Ikorodu division, Otunba Olasukanmi Tijani Jimoh, the visit and rallying scream became essential due to some persons purporting to be members of the party, staging a dubious and ill-conceived gathering on the 12th of April 2022 at the gate of the party secretariat with an apparent motive to cause humiliation to the good image of the party and blackmail the State Chairman and his team.
Calling the act a rude shock and total disgrace to all the good citizens of Ikorodu Division and the APC members of the party, Otunba Jimoh Tijani disclosed that the blackmailing staged huddling was spearheaded by Mr Ajisebutu Murisiku, who claimed to be the elected APC party chairman of Ikorodu division, “But unfortunately he wasn’t even present at the congress, how it transpired that his name was injected in the list and circulated we don’t know and we’re not going back to that” Otunba Tijani explained

“Our action today (in proceeding to the Lagos state secretariat of the All Progressive Congress) is considered a Pro-Ojelabi demonstration to stand by our state chairman, declaring that we know no one who’s trying to discredit the credibility of this present administration of our valuable party. Anyone found guilty of party law on unruly behaviour will be reprimanded to serve as a deterrent to others”
“Hon Ojelabi possesses core values that had been earned over the years with Integrity, Honesty, Transparency, Justice, Fairness and Hard work which have been attested to by our Party Leaders (National Leader, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, all the Governors Advisory Committee, Member of the Senate and Members House of Representative) to have reaped him this exalted position of the APC State Party Chairman”
“Ojelabi’s value and attributes cannot be dismembered or water-down by some misguided persons staging an ill-motived gathering. We’re once again demonstrating that APC Members in Ikorodu Division are solidly behind Hon Cornelius Ojelabi’s administration in Lagos State”
“I also want to make it clear that a high powered disciplinary committee has been set up to investigate these misguided persons purporting to be APC members. Anyone found wanting would be brought before the Party’s Constitutions 2022 as amended to answer for their irresponsible behaviours”
