The supporters drawn from across the Badagry Division comprising Ajeromi/Ifelodun Constituency, Badagry, called on the All Progressives Congress National leader, Bola Tinubu and the Lagos State Governor Akinwunmi Ambode to wade into the deepening crisis in their zone.

Speaking at a press conference in Badagry on Friday, June 5, they said are being persecuted by members who had engaged in anti-party activities that led to the “undeserved defeat” of the deputy speaker at the election.

“We have become victims of attack even on our private businesses,’’ they said.
