There were several hours of traffic gridlock at the Lagos State Government House, when two different groups of protesters within the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) in the state barricaded the entrance to the office of governor, singing war songs and chanting anti-Bola Tinubu and Governor Babatunde Fashola slogans to drive home their grievances. The APC members, including councillors, secretary to local governments and supervisors that served in the local government areas of the state between 2008 and 2011, were bitter about the non-payment of their severance packages while the other group, the New Lagos Movement (NLM), was kicking against imposition of party officials and candidates in the APC and the alleged zoning of the governorship position to a part of the state. |
