Youths from Ibeju-Lekki Local Government area of Lagos State have threatened to mobilise against the All Progressives Congress (APC) in the 2015 general elections if the party fails to replace the current public and political office holders elected from the area.
The youth, under the aegis of Concerned Youths of Ibeju Lekki Local Government, alleged that the public office holders elected from the area have all woefully failed the electorate in the area "with track record of very poor performances in office. Records are there to verify this fact and this is also known to our political leaders".
In a communique at the end of a meeting by the youths at the weekend, they resolved that "any attempt by the APC leadership to consider the return of any, some or all of these current political office holders from Ibeju Lekki may spell political catastrophe for the party in the coming elections".
The group said in the communique signed by its Convener, Adedayo Nurain: "We call on APC leadership to carry out on-the-spot assessment of the facts contained in this statement and sample opinions of the politically active people in Ibeju Lekki."
"We remain resolute in this demand, reminding the party of fresh plots by the opposition to gain control of Ibeju Lekki axis of Lagos State scale up to capture the entire state in governorship election in 2015."
"We warn strongly that any attempt to ignore or disregard our position will mean that our group will rally our members teeming over 500 youths to campaign against these current serving political office holders directly, irrespective of political affiliation, and will ensure they are not re-elected to serve in their respective current capacities."
