Ahead July Local Government Chairmanship Election just at the door step, an Upset Ikeja APC members demonstrate at the Lagos State assembly, on the issues affecting the grassroot and to channel their compliant aggressively over their Chairmanship candidate dropped in good turn of Kemi Nelson, saying enough is enogh.
Until
recently, the mere mention of the name Kemi Nelson, the woman leader, South
West, of All Progressives Congress (APC), at any political gathering would send
shivers down the spines of political personages in the vicinity.
That was when Chief (Mrs.) Kemi Nelson held away as a voice
to be reckoned with in local politics, until her failed attempt to grab a slot
for a seat in the Senate in 2013, when she could not secure the blessing of the
godfather of Nigerian politics, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu.
BETH NEWS team spread its correspondents to diverse areas
in the state, with a mission to seek to the views of important political
figures in the communities’ political terrain on the relevance and political
weight of the erstwhile political Amazon, and the findings are as shocking as
revealing.
A chairmanship candidate in the forthcoming local government
chairmanship elections, who does not want his name in print, asked: ‘’Who she help? (Meaning, who has Kemi
Nelson helped?) The aspirant told our correspondent that even amongst the women
folk, Kemi Nelson was no longer relevant, as she has always betrayed trust
reposed in her.
Another aspirant, a councillorship candidate, told our
correspondent that Mrs. Kemi Nelson remained the major hindrance to progress
in Ikeja politics, insisting the woman
leader has mortgaged the destiny of Ikeja descendants, the youth and even
unborn generation, concluding: ‘’Posterity will judge that woman well,
definitely.’’
At Alade Market, Ikeja Voice tried to speak with some market
women on Kemi Nelson but none of them wanted to talk because, according to
them, Kemi Nelson has a way of manipulating things in Ikeja, in such a way that
anything said against her, even of it was the truth, might end up haunting the
speaker in the long run.’’
BETH NEWS made several unsuccessful attempts
at reaching Mrs. Kemi Nelson before going to bed.
