The
aggrieved faction of the Ogun State Chapter of the All Progressives Congress,
APC, has presented a four-point request to the party’s Presidential
Reconciliation Committee.
The faction
loyal to the state Governor Ibikunle Amosun is asking the national body of the
party to declare Hon. Adekunle Akinlade as the governorship candidate of the
party.
The
three-man presidential committee, headed by Sandra Oladele, had yesterday met
with all the 26 candidates who were declared winners of the October 7
legislative primary by the National Working Committee Primary Committee but had
their names replaced.
The meeting
was held at the party’s secretariat in Abeokuta, the state capital.
The party
leadership in the state demanded the recognition and declaration of the 26
candidates who emerged from the primary conducted on October 7.
The Chairman
of the party, Derin Adebiyi, while addressing the panel, said “the only
condition for reconciliation is for Akinlade’s name to be sent to the electoral
body.”
They said
for peace to return in the party, the name of Akinlade should be forwarded to
the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, as the winner of the
governorship primary of the APC in Ogun.
Adebiyi, who
was represented by the Chairman of the APC in Ogun Central Senatorial District,
Yomi Ademefun, added, “Declare the primary election that produced Hon.
Abdulkadir Adekunle Akinlade that took place across Ogun State on October 2 as
authentic.”
