” As the House of Assembly candidates of the African Democractic Congress, ADC which election ran concurrently with that of governorship elections, the same day we thus became eventually the direct casualties and sacrificial lambs of the alliance as all the 32 seats of the House of Assembly went along the coalition governorship candidacy of Engineer Seyi Makinde. This was the same scenario with all other house of Assembly candidate from coalition parties”.
“It is important to stress that we did not request for and were not given any financial compesation before consenting to the terms of alliance as we were repeatedly assured that we shall be the first consideration for political appointment, These assurances were also reemphasized with us by the governor during the Thank you visit with Senator Lanlehin residence.”
“On a very sad note however, we regret to announced that almost nine .onths inti this government till date, Engineer Seyi Makinde has not fufilled any of the agreeement reached between our princinpal, Senator Olufemi Lanlehin and Himself”
“On several ocassion, Senator Lanlehin has make frantic effort to see Governor Makinde to resolve this issues”
As a man of Honour that our governor Engineer Oluseyi Makinde Is known ro be and as ola God fearing christian as we assumed, we hereby called on his Excellency to as a matter of importance and urgency redeem his promises according to the terms of agreement with Senator Olufemi Lanlehin.
” The body language of the governot is that of abandoment to fulfilling his own part of agreeement despite we have staked everyting possible to his electoral victory at the polls”
We have sacrificed so much to be abandoned uses and dumped,ignore or treated in this manner. We should be setting good precedence, as we did in the last election, for other state to follow in similar circumstances.
