“There is looming crisis in Iru- Victoria Island LGA, because we do not see any reason why any individual should sit in the corner of his house or palace and foist any unpopular candidate who lacks sound educational background, political experience, and moral value on majority of the people.

The only person who can resolve this matter is Asiwaju Bola Tinubu. He is someone is widely respected and revered by the party. He does not tolerate injustice and undemocratic processes,” he said.
