Kosofe All Progressives Congress (APC) Chieftain and member of the Governor Advisory Council, Omoba Ademuyiwa Sosanya, has shed light on the ongoing dispute over the authentic Chairman of the Ikosi Isheri chapter of the party. Speaking with the Publisher of Kosofe Post, Sosanya refuted the claims made by Hon. Seyi Odufowokan, who leads a parallel faction and insists on being the rightful Chairman.

In response to Odufowokan’s assertions, Sosanya stated, “It’s those children doing anti-party, don’t mind them. Nobody used him as chairman. What election did he win to be claiming the chairman? Those jobless children without handiworks looking for what to eat. When we were to hold primaries to elect executives, he was allegedly among the persons Rotimi Agunsoye used to manipulate the list for him to gain delegates in desperation. The party identified this manipulation, canceled it, and announced the list of Adhoc delegates, which they lost out on.”
Sosanya emphasized that being a Vice Chairman in the previous administration does not automatically qualify Odufowokan as Chairman. He recounted an encounter with Odufowokan, stating, “I called him to my house. In fact, I walked him out and told him not to allow anybody to use his head to break bricks or coconut. God has done enough for Rotimi Agunsoye. He served as a Special Adviser to President Ashiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, Local Government Executive Secretary, Commissioner for Local Government and Chieftaincy during Governor Babatunde Fashola’s administration, and Member of the House of Representatives for eight years. That’s enough for an omoluabi, and don’t let him deceive you.”
Sosanya revealed that he urged Odufowokan to reconcile with the Executive Chairman of Ikosi Isheri LCDA, Princess Samiat Bada. However, when Odufowokan insisted on his claim as Chairman, Sosanya asked him to leave his house.
The APC Chieftain made it clear that he does not wish to have any association with a disobedient child. He remarked, “As for me, I don’t want to have anything to do with him. The party doesn’t recognize him, I didn’t make him, and I will never make him a Chairman because we have the authentic Chairman, and Otunba Bush Alebiosu has nothing to do with him.”
