The Oyo State chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC) has issued a stern warning to its members, urging them to desist from actions that could undermine the party’s unity and its ambition to reclaim power in the state by 2027.
In a statement signed by the party’s Publicity Secretary, Olawale Sadare, the APC cautioned members against holding meetings, making public statements, or engaging in behaviours deemed detrimental to the party’s collective goals.
The warning followed recent media reports in which two unnamed APC leaders were quoted as praising Governor Seyi Makinde’s administration — remarks the party interpreted as aligning too closely with the ruling People’s Democratic Party (PDP) in the state.
Sadare emphasized that the APC would no longer tolerate disloyalty, sabotage, or indiscipline from members or stakeholders who prioritize personal interests over the party’s vision.
“But for selfishness and poor orientation borne out of indiscipline and myopia, no reasonable member of the APC would turn himself into a propaganda machinery for the current PDP administration, which has mortgaged the future of the unborn generations by wasting enormous resources on frivolities and inanity in the last six years.
“We found the conduct of the culpable personalities highly reprehensible and irresponsible in view of the fact that they both laid claims to being chieftains of our great Party up till the present moment.

“For the avoidance, Oyo APC has had enough dose of sabotage, conspiracy and other acts of disloyalty from supposed members as the present leadership is poised to wield the big stick against recalcitrant individuals whose goal is to see our Party in disarray at every crucial time.
“The Olayide Abas-led state executive and other relevant stakeholders have done so much in terms of reaching out for genuine reconciliation and stability, with evident positive results to show for it. Now that more eminent citizens are coming into the Oyo APC in droves, anybody with plans to draw us back would be treated like an enemy of the state.
“We have done our diligence and established that those who parade themselves as APC chieftains and still work for the PDP in recent times have no reason to engage in such shameful acts, but we would engage them as democrats since some schools of thought are of the opinion that they were either misinformed or misrepresented.
“However, every member of our great Party is expected to key into the Project 2027, which is aimed at delivering Oyo state to the APC wholly in the next general election.”
