2019: Ajimobi’s aide harps on unity in Oyo APC

THE Executive Assistant on Political Matters to Oyo State Governor, Dr. Morohunkola Thomas on Tuesday stressed the need for the sustenance of unity among members of the ruling All Progressives Congress, APC in Oyo state.

Thomas, also noted that using Lamist or Senaco group to cause division in the party will only give opportunity to the opposition to penetrate.

The governor’s aide made this remark when he received the representatives of members of the transition committee of local governments who served between 2011 and 2015 in his office.

He enjoined every members of the party to maintain unswerving loyalty to Governor Ajimobi who is the leader of the party.

The three term commissioner, however warned those promoting SENACO and LAMIST groups in the party to desist from their divisive actions, noting that he has watched with keen interest the disturbing trend desperate and mischievous political elements have tended to steer the ship of the party to irretrievable destruction.

“When people say they are LAMISTS, none of them have benefitted from Alhaji Lam more than I. I was his super commissioner and I enjoyed a healthy working relationship with him. He has done his own part and gone.

“Baba Lam during his life time as our leader used to preach peace, unity and joint efforts toward achieving goals.

“Governor Ajimobi gives respect and honor to leaders , we should also replicate such by honouring him as our leader and follow his path”.

Thomas disclosed that some people had earlier planned to leave the party but with the recent development, the table has turned. He observed that some members are now regretting their wrong steps , as the party is getting bigger and better , “we are not losing members, but increasing on a daily basis”.

While commending the group for honouring the governor, Thomas added, ” between 2011 and now many people have passed through the system holding one position or the other but not all of them appreciated the gesture. Even those who have opportunity to serve at a higher position failed to appreciate the governor’s gesture.

“We are rounding off the second term of this administration and things are changing, our fortunes are getting better”, said Thomas.

Earlier in his remarks, the spokesperson for the group, Prince Afonja Olusola assured that the group will continue to appreciate the governor for considering them worthy to serve in his government.
