“As stakeholders of the party, we have great responsibility to make the ward congress in all the participating states successful. We should endeavour to place the party and members interest above personal interests,” Buni said.
Governor Buni further said adequate arrangements have been made by the party to conduct successful and acceptable congresses across the country. Similarly, chieftain of the party and deputy president of the Senate, Senator Ovie Omo-Agege, said yesterday that there is nothing going to stop the event. According to him, “From the clear content of the substratum of Jegede’s petition at the lower court, I find it very difficult to understand how it relates to the competence of the Caretaker/ Extra-Ordinary Convention Committee constituted by NEC of the APC”.
He stated that the resolution subsists and extends to the conduct of party members during the congresses. Another member of the party’s Caretaker Committee, Mamam Tahir, who affirmed that the Congress will go ahead as planned, said, “I am here this afternoon to reconfirm that our Congresses are on course to hold tomorrow and this Committee is working closely with the Attorney-General of the Federation and he has offered advice that we are on good ground and we are comfortable with that position.”
Adeniyi alleged that Osun APC Caretaker Committee had refused to carry other stakeholders along in the preparation and arrangements for the state congress tomorrow . He, however, called on the Ward Congress committee members, who are in the state for the congress, to be fair to all stakeholders within the party.
Speaking at the Secretariat, one of the leaders of the group, Mr Rasheed Raji, said: “We are here to protest the electoral fraud being committed by Governor Adegboyega Oyetola and the APC Chairman, Prince Gboyega Famodun. The two leaders of the party are clearly killing APC in the State of Osun. Among the protesters was Mrs Opeyemi Adetipe who condemned what she described as brazen balkanization of the party by Governor Oyetola and Famodun, accusing them of intimidating and harassing members of the party who do not belong to their camp.
Justice Valentine Oriji threatened to invalidate the outcome of congresses if the party disregards the position of the Court.
