You added no value to party for 7 years, Osun APC lambasts Yusuf

Deborah Oladejo, Osogbo

The All Progressives Congress (APC) in Osun State has described as laughable the purported defection of the former Deputy Speaker of the House of Representatives, Hon. Lasun Yusuf, from the party, saying the party will not miss him.

APC’s reaction was contained in a statement issued the Director, Directorate of Publicity, Research and Strategy, Kunle Oyatomi and made available to newsmen on Saturday in Osogbo.

The statement said that the party would not, in any way, feel Yusuf’s absence because he didn’t add any value to the development of the party in the last seven years.

The party said Osun APC remained unperturbed, and would not lose sleep over the defection, noting that his defection was “good riddance to bad rubbish”.

According to them Yusuf’s defection was a blessing to the party.

“It is pertinent to tell the public what they already know that Hon. Lasun Yusuf is a ‘noisemaker and paperweight politician’ whose mind has left the party since 2018 after he contested for governorship primary election and failed and he has consistently been failing to win elections, even in his Poling Unit.

“Our party will show Hon. Yusuf that truly, he has no electoral value because, when he worked against the party, APC recorded so much electoral victories and the next election won’t be an exemption.

“The party therefore urged members of the APC to stay away from enemies of the party who portray themselves as party men but they are worse than those in opposition

“Osun APC enjoined party members and supporters to be resolute in their support and canvass for new loyal members into the party as our doors are widely open, for whoever wants to join,” Oyatomi said.
