Oyo APC warns members against anti-party activities

By Adejayan Gbenga –

The All Progressives Congress (APC) in Oyo State on Wednesday warned that it would no longer tolerate any of its members engaging in anti-party activities.

This was contained in a statement signed by the party’s Publicity Secretary, Olawale Sadare, in Ibadan.

The warning followed media reports of two unnamed APC leaders allegedly praising Governor Seyi Makinde’s administration, raising suspicions of covert ties with the ruling Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in the state.

The party declared zero tolerance for indiscipline, sabotage, and disloyalty, particularly from members driven by selfish ambitions and short-sightedness. It emphasized that every APC member is expected to work toward the party’s goal of reclaiming power in the state by 2027.

“But for selfishness and poor orientation borne out of indiscipline and myopia, no reasonable member of the APC would turn himself into a propaganda machinery for the current PDP administration,” the statement read.

The party further stated, “We are poised to wield the big stick against recalcitrant individuals whose goal is to see our party in disarray at every crucial time. The Olayide Abas-led state executive and other stakeholders have done so much for reconciliation.”

It added, “We have conducted our diligence and established that those parading themselves as APC chieftains while working for the opposition have no justification for such shameful acts.”

“However, we will engage them as democrats, since some schools of thought believe they may have been misinformed or misrepresented,” the party concluded.
