Olayokun stated that the APC leadership in Lagos State failed to allow a level-playing ground for all members of the merger political parties in all the APC congresses from the ward to state levels.
He added that the ruling party in Lagos state failed to allocate positions to APGA members in fulfillment of promises made to them prior to the merger.
The group explained that they were fully back to the APGA fold under the leadership of the National Chairman, Chief Victor Umeh, and the National Secretary, Dr. Sanni Shinkafi.
