Banire’s argument is that his faction’s congress has delegates from the 20 Local Governments recognised by the constitution of Nigeria.

No retreat, No surrender

The APC legal adviser also alleged that Tinubu has no interest of the masses, adding that he is only interested in enriching himself.

Banire said that he and his people will “not surrender Lagos to those who only want to keep enriching themselves without the interest of the masses, saying that they will do everything possible to truncate the continued reign of Tinubu in Lagos.”
