Kofoworola Bucknor-Akerele, |
A former Deputy Governor of Lagos State, Kofoworola Bucknor-Akerele, has
described the outcome of the governorship primary of the All
Progressives Congress (APC) in Lagos as ‘absolutely disgraceful’ and
said it shows that the party is more like a mafia organisation.
“I think it is absolutely disgraceful, what has happened in the APC
because it would seem that the whole idea in the APC is that everyone
should be serving one man and if you’re not ready to serve that one man,
then you are out, so to speak.
“It’s not a political party; it’s more like a mafia organisation,” Bucknor-Akerele said.
When asked how her relationship was with former Lagos State governor
and National Leader of the APC, Bola Tinubu, considering that she worked
closely with him and was deputy governor under him from 1999 to 2002,
she responded by saying, “Well, I was never ‘very close’ to him.
“Yes, we were together in the Senate, we fought for the restoration of
June 12 and I was his deputy but certainly if the way he treated me when
I was his deputy is the way you treat someone who is very close to you,
then I’m sorry, I think it leaves much to be desired.”
