The Omoluabi caucus of the All Progressives Congress in Osun State, loyal to the immediate past Minister of Interior, Rauf Aregbesola, has dissociated itself from any of its members who has been appointed into local government caretaker committee by the Governor Ademola Adeleke-led People’s Democratic Party government.
Spokesperson of the group, Adelowo Adebiyi, in a statement on Thursday, disclosed that whosoever had been appointed into political offices by the Adeleke administration got such, practically on his or her individual connection and influence, and not on behalf of the group or as compensation for the defunct “The Osun Progressives”.
Adebiyi, a former Chairman of APC in the state, claimed that at no time did the defunct TOP enter into any agreement with the PDP to work for it; which might warrant the erroneous compensation as being falsely spread by those he described as mischief makers.
“To us, the issue involved in the Osun APC crisis is based on fundamental wellbeing of the party and its purposeful usefulness for the sake of its establishment and pursuit, and not for any personal pursuit.
“We additionally note that our position has been for the essential need to rejuvenate, reorganise, refurbish and reenergise the structure of the party for achieving electoral victories. It is unfortunate that the self-centred and politically naive individuals and groups rejected our efforts with violence and onslaught.
“Incidentally and sadly, our rejected position has been scientifically vindicated with the embarrassing loss of more than 99% of the electoral positions and invariably loss of power in the state,” the statement reads partly.
