Babayemi calls for commitment to APC

Ireti Osun Movement, the umbrella body of the Omooba Dotun Babayemi’s political group has called on its teeming members and supporters across Osun State to remain committed to the success of All Progressives Congress (APC).

Babayemi, who vied for the gubernatorial ticket of the party, had visited 30 local government areas and the Ife-East Area office as well as 299 wards out of the 332 in the state.

Addressing a crowd of his supporters and the party stakeholders who were over 2000, Babayemi appreciated their steadfastness and urged them not to deviate from the valued norms they were known for.

The Gbongan-born Prince, who was out of the country and spoke with the large turnout through a telephone call, appealed for sustained support for APC in the state so as to enable it to always triumph at all elections.

He added that the party was supreme, imploring further that members should always obey the decisions of its leadership.

“I want to sincerely thank you for your unwavering support for me and our great party, the APC. At this juncture, I want to further appeal to us all that we must stay focused, strong and united for our party. The party is supreme and its decision is binding on everyone,” he said.

Also in his remarks, the leader of the team, Sir Gbenga Adebusuyi, said the meeting was called to address a disturbing report that some members of the movement at the grassroots were already drifting and flirting with other political parties.

In order to ensure that the needed information was passed to the grassroots, the meeting which was held in Osogbo, had in attendance, representatives from across the 332 wards of the state.

According to Adebusuyi, the parley became expedient as a result of complaints by many members of the Movement of being ostracized by the party before and after the governorsip primary.
