[JUST IN] AbdulLateef Dumps APC, After Loosing His Appointment As Special Assistant
Former Special Assistant to Speaker of Lagos House of Assembly, AbdulHakeem AbdulLateef has finally tendered his resignation letter to All Progressive Congress (APC) just barely two days after he lost his appointment.
Recall that AbdulLateef was relieved of his appointment after unveiling IYEPE2023, a movement that is aimed at aiding his gubernatorial ambition in 2023.
In his resignation speech, he thanked the Lagos State Governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu; the National Leader of the APC, Bola Tinubu and his immediate boss, Mudashiru Obasa for their various supports.
“To all other members of our party including my mentor Otunba Oladele Ajomale and the state Chairman of our party, Alhaji Tunde Balogun , Baba Olusi and all members of the GAC, I pray that may our Lord continue to be with you.”
However, he argued that he launched a movement IYEPE 2023 because he believes that the Nigerian Constitution allows freedom of expression and the rights of all Citizens to participate in bringing about the needed transformation in all sectors of the economy.
“I am an indegene of Lagos state and an Awori by birth. I therefore have a duty to take positive steps including admonitions and practical reorientation of our people towards the ideal society we crave for.
“My desire is to win the pleasure of my lord which no political position can replace and that is why I am not desperate.
”I will be totally fulfilled when I am able to make efforts to enlighten our people about good governance, welfarism, the growth and development of the youth, the care of the elderly, the growth of the private sector, the ideals of Constitutional Democracy and better lifestyles for the leaders and the led.
He maintained that he left the party as not to create chaos and disunity following the rejection of his movement by some party leaders.
“This movement has been rejected by some close leaders I respect. I have therefore decided to leave the party in order not to create disunity within the party. Please do not persecute or victimise my followers who have chosen to stay in APC. I leave them all in the care of the Lord.
I am more concerned about paradise and I am not afraid of death. I will continue to preach the word of God and invite all Nigerians regardless of their religions, colour and race to be determined to be different. We cannot continue this way.”
