Over 40 All Progressives Congress (APC) chieftains in Oyo state on Monday rose in support of the immediate past governor of the state, Senator Abiola Ajimobi on his planned selection as Deputy National Chairman (South).
The APC chieftains in a letter to the party’s National Chairman, Comrade Adams Oshiomhole lashed out at the “disgruntled APC” members kicking against the selection of the former governor for the APC Deputy National Chairman (South).
In letter, the APC chieftains comprising of the Oyo state APC Chairman, Chief Akin Oke and all APC SWC members, serving APC National Assembly members from the state, warned the disgruntled APC members accusing them of being enemies within the party during the last year general election in Oyo state .
“Your Excellency, the big regret we have concerning the several efforts they have made in the past is that we did not deem it necessary to reveal their true characters and identities to the whole world. Another one is about a number of innocent party members they brainwashed and misled into working against the APC in the last general election. Now, we say enough is enough! You cannot have your cake and eat it. APC is a party with zero tolerance for indecent practices, indiscipline and sabotage,” they said.
The Oyo APC leaders stressed in the letter titled “Our case against ex-members seeking undue recognition through cheap blackmail”, alleged the said ” disgruntled APC ” members of hell bent at distabilising the party the more with their opposition to the planned appointment of Senator Ajimobi.
“Going forward, we have been inundated with the nefarious activities of some opportunistic elements and fifth columnists, who are now disturbing the media space with periodic tantrums in the name of attracting undue attention to themselves as political players. These political clowns would stop at nothing to rock the boat of Oyo APC from a distance since they are not part of the family again having left to join other political parties at different times”.
According to the APC chieftains, “the latest in the series of their shenanigans is the unpopular stand on the nomination of Sen. Abiola Ajimobi for the post of the Deputy National Chairman (South) of our great party”, adding that “for some of them who were with us at one time or the other and those political neophyte being coopted into the script, it is simply an act of betrayal against the person of Sen. Ajimobi.”
