The lingering crisis in the All Progressives Congress ( APC) in Oyo State will adversely affect the fortunes of the party in the state if the problem is not quickly nipped in the bud. A group within the party, the Progressives Front has warned.
The warning was given at the weekend in a statement issued by the State Coordinator, Comrade Tunde Oladosu while reacting to the spate of defections in the party in the aftermath of the party primaries.
According to Oladosu, information at the group’s disposal which was confirmed by sources in the Independent National Electoral Commission ( INEC) has revealed that the primary election was not held in some federal and state constituencies, indicating that APC will not feature candidates in the constituencies. The federal constituencies are listed thus: Oluyole Federal, Ibadan South West/ North West, Ibarapa North/Central and Iseyin/Itesiwaju/Kajola/Iwajowa federal constituencies while the State constituencies are: Ibarapa North/Central, Ibarapa East, Oyo East, Oluyole, Ogbomoso, Atisbo/Shaki East, Ona Ara, Iseyin/Itesiwaju and Oorelope constituencies, respectively.
The group said the situation portends grave danger to the party and efforts should be made to find a solution to this.
