Divided APC in Osun Reconciles

Sequel to fence-mending embarked upon by leadership of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) in the state of Osun, the fractionalized state working committee of the party has successfully reunited.

A statement issued and signed by the party’s Director of Publicity, Research and Strategy, Barrister Kunle Oyatomi, said that the dissenting members of the party have been reconciled and are now a formidable team in the task of winning the next governorship election in the state.

It would be recalled that in the heat of the July 20 primary when the party’s National Executive opted for the ‘direct primary model’ to elect its governorship flagbearer for Osun, the State Executive apparently fractured with a handful of its members purported to have suspended the Chairman, Gboyega Famodun and the Secretary, Alhaji Razaq Salinshile.

Oyatomi said in the statement from the office of the party chairman, Prince Gboyega Famodun, the party said “frayed nerves have cooled, while dissenting members of the executive have returned to their duty posts and the body is again united under the leadership of its chairman.”

However, a damage control reconciliation effort by elders of the party successfully re-united the dissenting members with the state executive at the weekend.

“We can now inform party members and our teeming supporters in the state and beyond that the APC executive in Osun is back, fully united in business, and reinvigorated to pursue our collective goal of decisively winning the governorship election in September as a united force,” Prince Famodun said.

“Sometimes in presidential democracies worldwide, primaries are usually very contentious and can even create divisions, but they hardly ever end up breaking the party,” the APC argued.

According to the chairman, “the heat and squabble generated during the process usually simmer down as the party heals its bruises and restores unity for the real contest – in this case, the governorship election,  which is less than eight weeks away.

“We are now eminently positioned to go into the contest with renewed strength and determination not only to defeat all opposition but also to ensure that the progress, which Osun has experienced in the last 90 months will continue,” Famodun emphasized.

He therefore called on all members, friends and supporters of the APC, “to get seriously involved in the ‘war’ efforts to keep the state on course for the peace, progress and development that are the legacies Ogbeni Rauf Adesoji Aregbesola will be handing over to his successor,” the chairman said.

Prince Famodun therefore thanked “everyone who took part in the reconciliation process,”  and applauded the reunited executive members for the matured attitude they adopted in resolving the problem.
