Lagos State chapter of All Progressive Congress (APC) on Tuesday,9 June, 2020 placed a ban on activities of Justice group, Mandate groups and all other groups within the party in the state.
The ban which was stated in a statement signed by 27 chieftain of the party who are members of the Governor’s Advisory Council (GAC) said that activities of the groups are hostile to the unity of the party and warn members to disassociate themselves with such groups.
“It was unequivocally resolved that all factions like JG and MG are inimical to party unity and are hereby permanently disbanded and prohibited within the party.
“Party members should no longer make use of these factions or their names with regard to future party business and activities. To continue to hold meetings in the name of these groups or to continue to promote such associations will amount to a violation of this resolution.
The chieftains also noted that the names of such groups are for reference purposes and urge members of the party in the state to abide by the party rule and guidelines.
“The only permitted use of the names will be limited to historic references. Any violation of this decision is subject to party discipline, including suspension and expulsion. This prohibition extends solely to official party business. We are in no way trying to abridge anyone’s constitutional rights to free speech or assembly. The party chairman is hereby tasked with promulgating more detailed regulations with regard to prohibited and permissible activities for sub-party groupings.
“The party remains supreme. It has developed structures from the ward level to Local Government and State levels. These are recognized by the party’s constitution. They are adequate platforms for members to congregate and to present their views.
“The APC in Lagos is one party and one family. We must always act in this spirit if we are to attain the dream of democratic prosperity that we set out to achieve. We must do this in honor of June 12 and those who gave up themselves to make democracy our reality.”
