LG Polls: Osun APC Breaks into Two Camps

By Great Oluwaseun

All seems not to be well in the Osun State chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC) as sources revealed that the crisis rocking the party have further divided the party into two camps.

Osun Spring gathered that some members of the party that are in the Ilerioluwa faction of the party are aggreieved for not clinching appointments at the federal level accusing the former Governor of the state, Gboyega Oyetola of being one sided forcing them to call on a former National Leader of the Party, Chief Bisi Akande to come to their aid.

It was also gathered that as the Osun local government election approaches, the aggrieved people has firmly indicated that Chief Bisi Akande is their leader, stating that they are not in agreement with some of the chosen candidates.

A concerned party who spoke to our correspondent on the condition of anonymity noted that the selection of the flag bearers of the party in the coming LG Polls were abruptly selected without the leaders of Ilerioluwa consulting at the local level.

“I can tell you categorically that Osun APC is divided into two camps again and the reason is not far fetched. We claim to all be in one camp, Ilerioluwa but even in our camp, there is so much discrimination and hatred. Some people are favoured to be closer to the Minister, Oyetola and they are the ones considered for anything meaningful since President Tinubu was sworn in.

“That is why some of us decided to align with Chief Bisi Akande, atleast he is also a leader of the party, even at the national level.

“Even on the local government election, it was done the exact way they did that made us lose all the Senate and Reps, the process is abrupt, they decided candidates for us without due consultation at the local level.

“We have however decided that as far as Osun APC is concerned, Chief Bisi Akande is our own leader, the Minister is free to continue taking care of his inner circle, when the time is right, we will all see the results”, the source noted.
