The All Progressives Congress (APC), Osun State chapter, on Sunday declared that there was no iota of truth in the information being spread that the party had broken into factions.
It urged all its members, supporters and friends to disregard such false information, contending that the party remain one and united entity.
In a statement signed by the APC director of publicity, research and strategy, Barrister Kunle Oyatomi, the party maintained that “there is no faction in Osun APC. The leadership is intact and solidly behind the Ogbeni Rauf Adesoji Aregbesola-led government of the state”.
The statement reads in part, ‘we have one chairman in the person of Prince Gboyega Famodun and our secretariat headquarters is along Gbongan – Ibadan Road in the heart of Osogbo. You cannot be out of the party and still claim to be a faction of it”.
Describing those spreading the lies over factions in APC as veritable losers, the party added that “anyone who says otherwise is an agent of the PDP and one of those disgruntled elements in Osun State, working with merchants of evil to bring destruction and anarchy to the state”.
“The ugly past is enough lesson to us that when inordinately ambitious people create discord within, the paŕty has a responsibility to unite and move on without the dissidents. It is not in the interest of the people that a party that has done so much for Osun should dissipate energy on dissidents”.
“We are focused and united. Only those who have bought into the sadistic narrative and dangerous scheming of the PDP are thinking otherwise. The APC is therefore standing together and determined to overcome whatever obstacles the PDP and its agents, wheresoever located, are piling in our way to prevent continuity and progress in the state”.
“The ‘PDP is not an alternative to APC in Osun and our people are sensible enough to know it. Osun must stand united and crush the PDP and its agents, because all that the party offers is mayhem, kleptocracy and revisionism. ‘Our party is on course to repeat the feat of 2014, come August 2018’, the statement stressed.
