The attention of the leadership of the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC), Lagos State Chapter, has been drawn to a misleading and malicious publication currently circulating online under the title: “A Call For An Immediate Vote of No Confidence on the Failed Leadership of NDC Lagos.” Ordinarily, the party would not dignify baseless propaganda and politically motivated attacks with a response. However, in the interest of our members, aspirants, supporters, and the general public, it has become necessary to set the record straight and correct the false narratives deliberately being spread to create confusion and disunity within the party. First, we categorically reject the false allegations of extortion, exploitation, and coercion against the leadership of NDC Lagos State. At no point were aspirants forced or compelled to make any unofficial payments. The only approved payments made by aspirants were the officially recognized screening fees as directed and approved by the National ...
In an era where many politicians move from one political party to another in desperate pursuit of tickets, relevance, and personal ambition, loyalty has gradually become a scarce virtue in Nigerian politics.
For many political actors, ideology no longer matters. Principles are often sacrificed on the altar of personal interest, while party structures are abandoned immediately ambition suffers temporary setbacks. The culture of “jumping ship” has now become a recurring decimal in the nation’s democratic experience.
But for Dr. Sesan Sanusi, the story appears different. Despite falling short twice in his bid to secure the ticket for the Olorunda State Constituency seat in 2019 and 2023, Dr. Sanusi remained steadfast within the fold of the All Progressives Congress (APC), refusing to abandon the progressive family for political convenience.
His decision to stay committed, even in moments of disappointment, reflects a rare level of political maturity, discipline, and ideological consistency that many younger politicians can learn from.
Over the years, Tinubu’s political movement has consistently emphasized loyalty, long-term structure building, and commitment to progressive ideology over momentary political gains. This is the time for reward for loyalty within the All Progressive Congress (APC) by considering a man of loyal track record.
Dr. Sesan Sanusi’s political conduct mirrors that tradition. He is not only loyal, he is also committed to the welfare of party members across the state capital especially the Olorunda local government.
Rather than turning against the party or seeking shortcuts elsewhere after failing to secure the ticket, he chose to remain loyal to the APC, continue engaging with the grassroots, and sustain his relationship with party faithful across Olorunda.
Such consistency sends a powerful message that politics should not merely be about personal victories, but about sustaining institutions, preserving ideological identity, and contributing to long-term democratic stability.
Beyond political calculations, loyalty remains one of the strongest currencies in leadership. A man who stands with a structure during difficult moments often earns greater respect than those who only identify with success. Dr Sanusi deserves to be rewarded for the Ọlọrunda state constituency's party ticket ahead of the Osun State House of Assembly 2027 election.
