A source who briefed our correspondent on the clash disclosed that the clash was between supporters of Oseni and another aspirant, Akinsaya.

Oseni accused some APC leaders in the LG of infringement on democracy which could create serious violence before, during and after the primary election. According to him, “It is unconstitutional for party leaders to put on a cap showing the sign of endorsement of a particular aspirant, which has not yet emerged as the candidate of the party.

“This is a real threat, how can party executives, starting from the ward chairman be wearing the cap of an aspirant at the expense of other contestants during a party meeting.”

“As regards the fracas that erupted among supporters of some aspirants in Igando, he said the party should take action because the development was a bad signal of what may happen at the primary election.”

He alleged that the chairman of APC Igando and some of his cohorts were trying to foist unpopular candidate on the people.
