The All Progressives Congress (APC), Chairman in Oyo state, Hon Isaac Omodewu at the weekend said there was no plans to dissolve the party executives in the state.
Hon Omodewu in a statement made available to journalists on Saturday in Ibadan in response to a comment on Fresh FM live programme, “South West Political Circuit,” the guest Senator Ayoade Adeseun said the APC executives in Oyo state were on their way out.
Debunkung this claim, the state party chairman said the statement was “a mere wishful thinking.”
According to the APC Chairman in the state, some bad political players whose knowledge of constitutional democracy cannot stand the test of time were behind the claim.
“The current APC executive committees are products of legitimate congress and there is no place for fiat in our democracy that would empower the likes of SenaGove Adeseun to order the dissolution of party executive committee. Even reasonable people would like to ask in what capacity he acted when he made the obnoxious remarks on radio”, he said.
Hon Omodewu added, “Adeseun should have also asked for the sack of the executive committees in all the states where APC lost the governorship election or rather ask all those who won, in the 2023 election, on the platform of Oyo APC to vacate their office”.
“As far as we are concerned, we have our eyes on the ball and we will not leave any stone unturned to ensure that all aggrieved members who left our party in 2022 and new members from other political parties are attracted to Oyo APC”.
The Oyo APC Chairman stressed, “Our efforts have yielded positive results. Oyo APC remains a party to beat and recently we received gubernatorial candidate of Labour Party, Alh. Tawfiq Akinwale, and that of Action Peoples Party, Alh. Kazeem Ayandoye as well as their numerous supporters into the APC while many of those who left in 2022 have also returned”.
Hon Omodewu maintained, “Funny enough, the man (Adeseun) is not a member of the APC at the moment as he worked assiduously for his party (Accord) in the recently concluded general election”.
“We can recall that Senator Adeseun emboldened others to allegedly reject all efforts made to placate them to remain in the APC following their disappointment at the end of the party primary conducted to pick candidates for the 2023 general elections”.
According to the Oyo APC Chairman, “Adeosun gave them false hope about using another party to win election but at the end of the day, many people were made to waste collosal resources only for most of them to end up working for Governor Seyi Makinde of the PDP even when their own accord fielded candidates in the same eleOladele
