Oyo Guber: Minister Shittu’s Faction ‘Dumps’ APC

The lingering crisis rocking the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) in Oyo State on Tuesday took another dimension as a faction within the party, APC Unity Forum, announced its decision to leave the party for another one where its interest would be protected.
 Public Relations Officer (PRO), of the faction, Mr. Wasiu Olawale Sadare made this announcement via his Facebook page.
The two warring factions battling for the soul of the party are the one loyal to the state governor, Senator Abiola Ajimobi known as SENACO and the one loyal to a former governor of the state, Alhaji Lamidi Adesina known as LAMISTS now called Unity Forum.
 The crisis culminated in the factionalisation of the party which made the two groups to hold parallel local government congresses few weeks ago.
The two factions later conducted parallel state congresses a week after the parallel local government congresses were held.
Sadare, in his Facebook post sighted online, however said the destination of the faction will be announced in few days.
He wrote, “Breaking: Unity Forum leaves Oyo APC… Destination to be announced in few days.”
However, all efforts made by our correspondent to get more details about the defection have proved abortive as calls made to Sadare’s phone number were not going through.
