A socio-political group, Concerned Lagosians, has advised the Lagos State Publicity Secretary of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Seye Oladejo, to return to his home state, Oyo, and speak for his people instead of meddling in the political affairs of Lagos, particularly those concerning the African Democratic Congress (ADC).

The group, in a statement issued on Thursday by its Secretary, Segun Adeyemi, described Oladejo’s recent remarks against ADC chieftain, Gbadebo Rhodes-Vivour, as misplaced and hypocritical.

Adeyemi noted that Oladejo, who was recently installed as Mogaji of his Ibadan family compound, is better positioned to serve the interests of his Oyo people.

“Oladejo is doing a disservice to his people by abandoning his duty and struggling to meddle in the political affairs of Lagos State indigenes. Go to Ibadan where you rightly belong,” Adeyemi declared.

The group further accused Oladejo of political inconsistency, stressing that he has no moral right to question the political choices of others.

“Go and sit down and think deeply before you accuse anyone else of defections which you and those you idolise are masters of. You should describe yourself, having followed your so-called strategist across multiple parties — AD, AC, ACN, and now APC. Not to mention the cases of anti-party activities which you and your class of political game players have never had the courage to own up to. Before you throw stones, remember not to stay inside a glass house; it will be disastrous,” the statement read.

The group maintained that Rhodes-Vivour has aligned with the collective opposition movement to unseat what it described as “the bad government the APC has inflicted on Nigerians for the past two years,” echoing the rallying cry of O To Ge (Enough is Enough).

It made Seye Oladejo and others in his camp of APC to know that, “Our point of Lagos for Lagos owners is not a pretending idea but real. So, do not think that we will sit down a watch you rubbish anyone of us who has simply embarked on a pathway to achieving what will make our dream of Lagos indigenes emerging as elected governor, deputy governor, speaker, as well as appointed Chief Judge, Secretary to the State Government, Chief of Staff and Chief of Staff to the Governor realistic.”
