- There is anxiety and uncertainty within the ruling APC as regards those who will make Local Government cabinet list
- There have been endless closed-door meetings by leaders of All Progressives Congress, as to who will make the list
Kosofe Post gathers that the battle for Local government appointments has peaked significantly in the last few weeks even as party Leader is said to be preparing a final list of those they want in Kosofe Local Government, Agboyi Ketu and IKosi Isheri Local Council Development Areas cabinet which will be announced anytime soon.
According to the report, the battle has been made competitive, because of former Chief of Staffs, Former Supers who are itching to return to cabinet, serial Councillorship candidates, former Councilors who have either completed their two terms in office or those who lost a reelection bid or lost the ticket.
Others are candidates and other members of All Progressives Congress, who feel a need to be compensated for their roles in the victory of the local government Chairmen in just the July Local Government Election 2021 presidential, which earned some Chairmen a second term and fresh mandate.
Although unlike the 2017 approach, where a particular group hijacked all Councillorship and Local Government appointees, insiders have hinted that the two Governor’s Advisory Council Members Otunba Bushira Alebiosu and Omoba Olumuyiwa Sosanya, and other stakeholders are working towards producing appointees list that cut across caucus group and interest in order to actualize inclusive government.
The party leaders have, however, kept the information about the local government cabinet appointment to themselves alone, the local government Chairmen given an honour to nominate one or two cabinet members.
Ikosi Isheri Lcda, Former Supervisory Councilor for Environment, Kehinde Fatoki, Gbadesere Isiaka, Omotayo and few others made the list yet to be announced.
