RE: CLARIFICATION ON PROTEST AGAINST SNR COMR. LASISI AYINDE AKINSANYA
The media team of the Executive Chairman, Snr. Comr. Lasisi Ayinde Akinsanya, wishes to address the recent protest conducted by certain unidentified individuals and discontented political factions on Monday, June 2, 2025. We debunked a viral news/video awash the social media, claiming that
Comrade Akinsanya Lasisi Ayinde worked against the President Bola Ahmed Tinubu in 2023 presidential election, claiming Comrade Akinsanya is core loyalists of Aregbesola, claiming Comrade Akinsanya is affiliated to Enilolobo Abdullahi, further claimed Comrade Akinsanya never made any developmental projects in his community as a council Chairman.
The faceless and hired protesters condemned the achievement of Comrade Akinsanya who were bent on castigating the good works of Council chairman Comrade Akinsanya who has brought laudable solutions to the myriad of challenges facing every sector of the community
These individuals have unjustly labeled Comr. Akinsanya as a crony of Ogbeni Rauf Aregbesola, claiming that he occupies his position as Executive Chairman in Alimosho under questionable circumstances and also performed low as the council’s helmsman.
We categorically refute these claims, which we consider to be unfounded fabrications perpetuated by this disgruntled group seeking to undermine the reputation of Comr. Akinsanya. It is important to highlight the following facts:
Firstly, *Progressive Heritage*: Comr. Lasisi Ayinde Akinsanya is a steadfast supporter of the values of the All Progressives Congress (APC) and a dedicated student of President Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s Political Institute.
Secondly, *Historical Leadership*: He (Akinsanya) served as the President of the Lagos State chapter of the Nigeria Union of Local Government Employees (NULGE) during President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s administration as Lagos State Governor, where he demonstrated exemplary leadership and commitment to progressive governance.
Thirdly, *Advocacy for Local Council Development*: Akinsanya actively supported the formation of the 37 Local Council Development Areas (LCDAs) which were initially threatened by opposition from former President Olusegun Obasanjo, affirming his dedication to local governance.
*Impactful Tenure*: As Executive Chairman of the Igando-Ikotun LCDA, he has made significant contributions to the welfare and development of residents across various sectors, reflecting his commitment to public service.
*Unwavering Loyalty*: Comr. Akinsanya remains loyal to President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s vision and principles and categorically denies any affiliation with Rauf Aregbesola in either political or personal capacities.
*Support for Party Leadership*: It is noteworthy that Comr. Akinsanya was present at the recent event where Prince Bisi Yusuf was introduced by the Executive Governor of Lagos State, Mr. Babajide Olushola Sanwo-Olu, as the APC apex leader of Alimosho Federal Constituency.
We urge the leadership of the All Progressives Congress, both at the Federal and State levels, as well as the general public, to reject any misleading information and false narratives propagated against Comr. Akinsanya. The intent behind these allegations is transparent: to defame a leader who has built a solid reputation over many years.
Comr Akinsanya is keen to the ethos of All Progressives Congress.
He is a loyalist and follower/Supporter of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu.
Unlike the lies/fabrication levied against him, he has no link with Rauf Aregbesola for whatever reason.
We will like to recall that the first day Prince Bisi Yusuf was presented by Mr Babajide Olushola Sanwoolu, the Executive Governor of Lagos State as the latest Alimosho Federal Constituency Apex Leader, Comr Akinsanya Lasisi Ayinde was physically present at the occasion.
Comr. Akinsanya Lasisi Ayinde has never for once been against the belief and ideology of President Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu.
He is 100% loyal to President Bola Ahmed Tinubu and All Progressive Congress (APC).
People should desist from tarnishing the image of the Comrade Akinsanya led administration in the name of opposition. Do not believe everything you see or hear on the social media they are all rumors and false. Many are spreading fake, false and unfounded news to gain cheap popularity
Together, we stand resolute in support of Comr. Akinsanya, advocating for integrity, progress, and unity within the APC and the broader community.
*OJU IGANDO-IKOTUN*
