State Congress: Oyo APC Groups Denounce “Leaked” Statutory Delegates’ List, Describes It As Fake.
Among the mainstream groups of the All Progressives Congress(APC), in Oyo-State, the Unity Forum, Zenith Labour Party(ZLP), Adebayo Adelabu group and others have dissociated themselves from a “leaked” statutory delegates lists making the rounds in the social media and some online platforms. The groups described the list as fake.
In a statement signed by Senator Ayoade Adeseun, Chief Sarafa Alli and Chief Olayemi Ariba, for the Unity Forum, ZLP and the Adelabu groups, the three groups noted that the list which featured names of some members of the groups is fake and is designed to confuse members of the party and general public, ahead of the congress of the party rescheduled for this Saturday, October 30.
The statement noted that the party national secretariat has stated it clearly that the congress would be by consensus means because of the unresolved disputes on the delegates’ lists arising from the ward and local government congresses in the state.
“The National Secretariat of the party was clear last week when it met stakeholders from the state and even this week when it met the Minister for Youths and Sports, Mr Sunday Dare, that the congress would be by consensus.
“It is important to recall that stakeholders few weeks back had resolved that the election of party executives would be elected by consensus. The party mandated its seven zonal leaders to consult with the former governor of the state, the two surviving former deputy governors and party chairman to zone offices to the seven administrative zones of the state.
“The zones were mandated to fill the positions and submit their elected officials to the state party executive. The congress is to ratify the list from the zones by an affirmation.
“As responsible party members, we stand by the directives of the party. The purported list is designed to confuse party members and members of the public about the congress.
“We wish to state without any fear of contradiction that we know nothing about the list because the national secretariat of the party has stated clearly that the consensus method would be used for the congress. We advise member of the public and the media to be wary of fraudulent politicians who sponsor fake stories like this to prepare grounds for their evil plans within the APC”,the statement concluded.
