Coalition of All 2025 Chairmanship Aspirants opposes Ikosi-Isheri LCDA Chairman's third term Bid

COALITION OF ALL 2025 CHAIRMANSHIP ASPIRANTS OPPOSES IKOSI-ISHERI LCDA CHAIRMAN'S THIRD TERM BID

 A coalition of all 2025 Chairmanship aspirants and concerned stakeholders within the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Ikosi-Isheri Local Council Development Area (LCDA) has formally opposed the third-term bid of the incumbent chairman, Princess Samiat Abolanle Bada.  The coalition expressed deep concern regarding the eligibility of Princess Bada to contest in the forthcoming local government elections, citing violations of the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.

Princess Bada served as Vice-Chairman to the late Engr. Abdulfatai Oyesanya for six years. Following Engr. Oyesanya's death, she assumed the position of Executive Chairman, completing his tenure and subsequently serving a full four-year term.  The coalition has learned of her intention to seek a third term.

The coalition cites six key reasons for Princess Bada's disqualification:

1. Violation of the 1999 Constitution

2. Inconsistent Enforcement of Party Rules

3. Erosion of Internal Democracy

4. Exceeding Constitutional Term Limits

5. Imposition Without a Proper Electoral Process

6. Widespread Public Disapproval

The coalition urges the Lagos State APC Working Committee to disqualify Princess Bada in accordance with the Nigerian Constitution and party rules regarding term limits.  Furthermore, the coalition calls upon President Bola Ahmed Tinubu to intervene to preserve internal democracy and fairness.  They also request that Governor Babatunde Sanwo-Olu, the Lagos State House of Assembly, and the Governor's Advisory Council (GAC) take urgent and decisive steps to ensure the uniform enforcement of party rules across all Local Government Areas.
