Former Governor of Oyo state and chairman Elders Advisory Council, All Progressives Congress, Oyo state chapter, Otunba Adebayo Alao-Akala has described as fifth columists agents of distabilization, masquerading as A.P.C members with the intention of distrupting the ongoing ward congress in the state and never do-well’s whose stock in trade is to benefit from imaginary crisis created within the confines of their bedroom.
The former Governor said this while reacting to a Punch Newspaper Publication where it was reported that a parallel ward congress was held in Ogbomoso North Local Government area of Oyo state.
Otunba Alao-Akala said the story which was ascribed to one faceless and unknown man is baseless and untrue and is the handiwork of some disgruntled elements bandying the name of the Minister of Youth and Sports Chief Sunday Dare to carve a niche for himself.
According to the former Governor, the Honourable Minister who is presently out of the country on a National assignment is a man who hold party supremacy in high esteem, he is committed to the growth and development of the A.P.C and will never be a party to such shenanigans of the mischievous element.
I have not spoken to him today but I can tell you he is not party to the dirty antics of the man that claimed he held parallel primaries in Ogbomoso North Local Government of all places.
We held a series of stakeholders meeting both at the state level and at the Ogbomoso zone of the state and the Minister was fully part of the whole processes.
Leaders and elders of the party from Ogbomoso zone converged and fashioned out ways of ensuring we have a hitch-free ward congress and the Hon. Minister was part of us.
We don’t have any crisis whatsoever amongst us in Ogbomoso zone of the party and I can vouch for the Minister that he is not party to the dirty antics of the mischief makers.
Don’t also forget that the Honourable Minister of Youth and Sports Sunday Dare is a serving Minister and a Frontline cabinet member, a committed party member and a good example to the upcoming generation who will never conspire with never do-well’s to bring down the peace and cohesion of a party he is serving in its Government as Minister.
Not forgetting the fact that the A.P.C is a party with discipline and respect for due process.
Even if per-adventure there is any form of misgivings, there are laid down internal mechanisms set down by the party to look into what ever might be amiss.
My advice to our party supporters and follower is that they should not be distracted nor dismayed the the sheer ignorance of mischievous elements.
They should be forward thinking and focused on the remaining stages of the congress aimed at choosing the leaders and executives of our party.
