The power tussle pervading the Oyo state wing of the All Progressive Congress has taken a new turn as prominent party leaders has dragged the new state party chairman;Isaac Omodewu before the Buni led National working committee of the party.
Chief Niyi Akintola, a legal luminary and frontline governorship hopeful in the party described the inauguration of members of executive council committee of the All Progressives Congress, APC in Oyo State as well as chairmen of the party in all the 33 local government areas of the State by the just sworn in chairman, as an exercise in futility.
As a result, he distanced himself from such a criminal behavior.
He added that one cannot put something on nothing, and that Isaac Omodewu, who received his certificate of return as the state party chairman at the national secretariat, failed, refused, or neglected to wait for the harmonized state executive council list from the headquarters, as well as the wards and local government list for the state, before hurriedly swearing in his stooges via his principal’s unilateral directive.
The act, according to the legal expert, was self-serving, self-fulfilling, and self-aggrandizing in the front of the state’s throngs of APC supporters.
He also called the inauguration illegitimate and a sham, pleading with the national headquarters to stop Omodewu from engaging in any future anti-commonsense behavior that could jeopardize the party’s hopes of returning to Agodi House in 2023.
He said the party’s state leadership, which includes Zonal leaders and other key players, is looking into the matter and in contact with the party’s national headquarters to resolve the impasse.
He asked party members to be calm, peaceful, and certain that everything would be well in no time.
