Oyo APC: We’re Not Part of Dubious Reconciliation, Harmonization C’ttees – Adeseun, Lanlehin, Buhari, Adelabu, Tegbe, Akande, Ibikunle, Sunday Dare, Others React.

1. Our attention has been drawn to a news report of reconciliation and harmonization committees purportedly proposed by a so-called elders advisory council.
2. This false and disingenious fake initiative by a dubious body is laughable as it is tragic. It is public knowledge that the so-called elders council had been in dispute since the idea was smuggled into a peace meeting at the residence of Governor Kayode Fayemi of Ekiti State in Ibadan in September 2020. The so-called council had never taken off as it had only witnessed meetings of members of a single caucus out of the many caucuses in the Oyo State chapter of the APC.
3. It is also public knowledge that the purported chairman and Secretary of the so-called elders council are boys of a particular Senator and governorship aspirant who has been hellbent on hijacking the party structure against the wishes of an overwhelming majority of members of the party.
4. It is trite in law that you cannot be a judge in your own matter. This is exactly what the dubious elders council seeks to do with the nauseating idea of dubious kangaroo reconciliation and harmonisation committees to be inaugurated by it.
5. We therefore put the public on notice that true to the dubious character of members of that group, they will soon come out with names members of the fake committees purported to be members representing the contending groups in the party. This is to create a false impression before unsuspecting members of the public that the contending groups in the party are parties to the poisonous design.
6. We state without any equivocation that none of the leaders of the Lam Adesina, Senator Ladoja and Governor Ajimobi caucuses of the party is a subscriber to the deceit packaged as reconciliation and harmonization committees by the dubious elders council.
7. The matter at issue in Oyo State chapter of the APC is the sanctity of the ward and local governement congresses of 2021 and flagrant failure to recognise the Consensus Chairman of the party,Alhaji Abu Gbadamosi, elected in accordance with the directives of the national secretariat of the party.
8. Nothing short of respect for the wishes of the overwhelming majority of members of the party will restore peace in the party. The members of the clique purporting to constitute an elders council are only being clever by half. As it is popularly said,you cannot put something on nothing. Any initiative not based on truth and driven by the quest for justice will come to naught.
9. For the avoidance of doubt,we the undersigned stakeholders representing the major caucuses of the APC in Oyo State dissociate ourselves from the dubious elders council and the contraband they call harmonisation and reconciliation committees.The public should dismiss it like a piece of waste paper.
