A faction of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Oyo state, led by the Minister of Communication, Adebayo Shittu on Monday announced its decision to dump the party following its inability to take over the leadership of the party in the state. The Public Relations Officer of the faction, Wasiu Olawale Sadare made the announcement via his Facebook page. His post reads


“Breaking: Unity Forum leaves Oyo APC… Destination to be announced in few days”.


The decision of the group to dump the party may not be unconnected with yesterday's inauguration of Chief Akin Oke as the chairman of the party despite his rejection by the Unity Forum members.


Dailypost reports that members of the Forum include Communications, Barrister Adebayo Shittu, Senator Monsurat Sunmonu (Oyo Central), 9 House of Representatives members among whom are; Hon. Adedapo Lam Adesina (Ibadan North East/ Ibadan South East) Hon. Sunday Adepoju (Ido/ Ibarapa East), Hon. Sunbo Olugbemi (Oluyole), Hon. Michael Akintola (Egbeda Ona-Ara), Hon. Abiodun Olasupo ( Iseyin/ Itesiwaju/ Kajola), Hon. Segun Ogunwuyi (Ogbomoso North/Ogbomoso South/Orire and Hon. Oladele Olatunbosun.


Others are: Dr. Busari Adebisi, Alhaji Abu Gbadamosi, former Council chairman among others.


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.
