A political pressure group, Positive Change Protagonists (PCP), has appealed to stakeholders in the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Oyo State to take urgent steps to put an end to the crisis within the state chapter of the party in view of the nearness of the next general election.
The group said it was worried by the seeming inability of gladiators to resolve issues trailing the party’s congresses that were conducted in the state in 2021.
It lamented the situation that led to the inauguration of a factional state executive committee led by Alhaji Abu Gbadamosi in Ibadan last week, Mr Isaac Omodewu having been recognised as the state chairman of the party by the defunct Caretaker/Extraordinary Convention Planning Committee headed by Governor Mai Mala Buni of Yobe State.
The PCP, in a statement on Monday in Ibadan by its chairman, Mr Quazeem Oreitan, and secretary, Mr Olusola Akande, said: “It became more obvious that all was not well with Oyo APC when most gladiators stayed away from the space allocated to Oyo State at the Eagle Square, venue of the party’s national convention held at the weekend in Abuja.
“Feelers from Abuja revealed that most leaders and principal stakeholders boycotted the stand reserved for Oyo State at the Eagle Square, Abuja, in demonstration of their opposition to the delegates list approved by the relevant authorities.
“While our position is not to endorse or condemn any of the warring groups, we feel highly concerned about what played out in Ibadan last Friday as well as that of last weekend in faraway Abuja and we are poised to offer a solution to the interactable crisis.
“The Abuja outing was not all gloom as a few individuals tried to ignite the pacesetter vibe in the delegates and others who occupied the seats reserved for Oyo State contingents.”
