February 07, (THEWILL) – The Lagos State Chapter of All Progressives Congress, (APC), has suspended its campaign towards the forth-coming elections.
According to a release issued by the party and signed by its State Publicity Secretary, Hon. Seye Oladejo, Lagos APC Chairman, Hon. Cornelius Ojelabi, said the decision was reached as a result of the state of the nation due to the scarcity of fuel and pain occasioned by the Naira redesign.
Ojelabi empathised with the general public, especially the downtrodden who are at the receiving end.
He expressed the view that it will be insensitive to forge ahead with the various rallies with the situation of things in the state.
He emphasised that members of APC are not immuned against the development as he has been inundated with several complaints.
He joined his voice with those of other well meaning Nigerians to call for the review of the Naira redesign policy to give it a human face and ameliorate the suffering of ordinary Nigerians.
He equally appealed that petroleum products should be made available in order not to jeopardise the preparation for the elections and reduce the negative economic impact.
Ojelabi enjoined all Lagosians to remain law abiding as all issues are resolved in due course.
