Osun APC Reunites After Primary Election

A statement from the office of the party chairman,  Prince Gboyega Famodun and made available to newsman in Osogbo by the Director of Publicity, Research and Strategy, Bar. Kunle Oyatomi yesterday, said ‘frayed nerves have cooled, dissenting members of the executive have returned to their duty posts and the body is again united under the leadership of its chairman ‘.

It will be recalled that following the adoption of the direct primary by the party’s National Executive to elect its governorship flag bearer for Osun, the State Executive apparently fractured when some members suspended the chairman and the Secretary, Alhaji Razaq Salinshile.

His words: “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.

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 emphasised.

He therefore called on all members, friends and supporters of the APC, ‘to get seriously involved in 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.
