A group of chieftains of the All Progressives Congress, APC, in Oyo State has called for a new date for the party’s state congress.
The group made the call in Ibadan at a news conference on their positions regarding Saturday’s congress of the party.
The leader of the group, Senator Ayo Adeseun said the delegates’ list for the planned congress has been totally manipulated.
He explained that for the congress to hold, the national body of the party must produce the authentic delegates’ list for the exercise.
Senator Adeseun claimed a sitting senator and former Governor of Oyo State were behind the doctored list claiming the national leadership of the APC must ensure that the consensus list which is still in possession of the current leadership of APC in the state is considered for the election.
The party chieftains at the news conference include Minister for Youths and Sports, Chief Sunday Dare, Governorship candidate of the party in 2019, Chief Adebayo Adelabu, Professor Adeolu Akande and Barrister Sarafadeen Aĺi.
Others are Mogaji Joseph Tegbe, Dr. Azeez Adeduntan, Hon. Tolu Sadipe and Alhaji Fatai Ibikunle.
