Leaders of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) in Oyo State have reacted to news making the rounds that there is disunity in the party in the state saying that this is false.
In a special release signed by Chief Samuel Adekola, the Chairman and Mr. Kareem Tijani, the Secretary of the leaders, it was noted that the recent nomination of some members as Chairmen of Local Government Caretaker Chairmen resulted in some kind of ‘grumblings’, the leaders announced that the complaints are being looked into.
Read the full text of the APC Leaders’ statement:
Contrary to the recent reports in the media alluding to disagreements amongst members of our great party -APC in Oyo State, we as leaders wish to state very clearly that our party remains solidly one.
This position corroborates the admonition of our Leader in the state, His Excellency Sen. Abiola Ajimobi to our members recently at meeting held at Lafia Hotel, Ibadan that all members should shun divisive tendencies and forge ahead as one indivisible party, as in that lies our strength at winning elections.
The party is not unaware of some complaints arising from the recently re -constituted Care-taker members, we take these grumblings in good faith as part of ingredients of true democracy, the party has taken note of their worries and it is attending to it accordingly on the merit of each case.
We therefore reiterate for the umpteenth time our members are irreversibly committed to the unity of our great party, with majority of them in solidarity and unalloyed loyalty to the party leadership, as well as the Leader, His Excellency, Sen Abiola Ajimobi.
We express again our appreciation for the support and understanding of the good people of our dear State.
Again behalf of the good people of OkeOgun and Oyo State at large, we want to specially appreciate and thank Our Governor, Senator Abiola Ajimobi for his fairness in the distribution of appointments and development so far, most especially the newly appointed Caretaker Chairmen.
We sincerely appreciate the sensitivity of the Governor on the opportunity given to new people taking into cognizant that it takes a whole team of APC members to win elections. We are grateful and we also pledge our undying support at all times.
Signed: Chief Samuel Adekola – Chairman and Mr. Kareem Tijani -Secretary
