Oyo APC leaders reject Ajimobi as National Deputy chairman, reveal next action

Leaders of the Oyo state chapter of the All Progressive Congress (APC) across the three Senatorial Districts on Thursday called on the National leader of the party, Asiwaju Ahmed Bola Tinubu and the National Chairman, Comrade Adams Oshiomhole, to reject the nomination of former Governor Abiola Ajimobi as Deputy National Chairman.

The call came on the heels of rumours making rounds that Ajimobi has been nominated to replace Chief Niyi Adebayo as APC Deputy National Chairman.

Adebayo has been appointed by President Mohammadu Buhari as Minister.

The Oyo APC leaders, who rose against the nomination of Ajimobi at a caucus meeting in Osogbo, stated that the choice of the former governor was a wrong one since he does not enjoy the majority support of the party leaders in the state.

Speaking with journalists after an emergency meeting of the APC leaders across the three Senatorial districts in Ibadan, the spokesperson of the party leaders, Alhaji Fatai Ibikunle, called on the APC National leader to look outside the box by consulting party leaders in the state before arriving at a popular choice that will be acceptable to all.

He said ” Our resolve is that our National Leader, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu should look for younger people who are more vibrant and intelligent rather than recycling the old wine in the new bottle.

The APC leaders also called on Governor Seyi Makinde to retrace his steps on the feud over the control of local government administration in the state, by ensuring that the elected representatives of the people at the grass root were allowed to complete their tenure.
