The Chairman of the Action Congress of Nigeria, ACN, Lagos State Chapter, Henry Ajomale, has said that the party will not zone the 2015 governorship seat to a particular region.
Ajomale, who is a close ally of the party’s National Leader Bola Tnubu, in an interview said the party does not believe in zoning political offices, saying, “For us, it is not a question of zoning; it is a question of getting the best material anywhere we can get it, not minding the zone. We want the best and only the best is good for Lagos.”
“We want someone who will improve on the achievements so far. I don’t believe in zoning, I believe we must get the best material that can carry on with the legacies that has been established by the two giants (Tinubu and Fashola).”
“The legacies they are leaving behind must be improved upon and not getting someone who will spoil it by zoning. We must get the best hand from anywhere in Lagos State.”
He said the ACN practices internal democracy and as such, the best person will be selected at the governorship primaries.
“In our case, two systems are allowed. You can conduct your primaries by consensus and you can do open primaries. In some cases, when you do open primaries, you still have maiming and death trailing the way because of our people who want to win at all cost.”
He added that the merger talks by leading opposition parties was on course.
