Punch reports that Akande, in a statement yesterday, looked at how the APC lost to the opposition party in all the contested seats both in March 28 and April 11 in his unit, ward and the entire Oshodi Isolo Local Government Area, hence his assertion that Ajomale had no moral right to remain as party chairman. He also said that Ajomale’s report card in the just-concluded elections in the state had shown clearly that he had lost his credibility as a leader and as such he should resign as the chairman of the party.
“Our party cannot continue to be old-fashioned, things are changing and the party had to follow suit. The APC leadership should not develop clay feet or whip up sentiment to deal with failures or reward performance in the party as the expectations of the people from the party are high.” the APC chieftain added.
He commended the national leader of the party, Bola Tinubu, for his doggedness and sacrifice for the victory recorded by the party at the presidential level. He said the victory of President-elect Muhamadu Buhari and others at state and federal levels was a testimony to the political doggedness of Tinubu, adding that he was certain that Buhari would deliver as well as bring succour to Lagos.
“If a leader or party chairman should lose his polling unit in all elections for state assembly, Federal Constituency and the governorship, such party chairman should resign,” Akande insisted
Reacting to the words and assertion of Chief Akande, Ajomale said that  Akande should be ignored by every serious and well-meaning Nigerian, “because I have performed.” Ajomale described Akande as an unserious person who should be ignored by all well-meaning Nigerians.
