The outcome of the meeting held with ex President Olusegun Obasanjo by the conflicting parties in Oyo ADC is yet to be made public even after 24 hours, just as sources informed that the Unity Forum doubt its positive end result following the action taken by ex Governor Rashidi Ladoja and Chief Michael Koleosho, a one time Secretary to Oyo state government, in organizing a party congress which the breakaway faction labeled illegal and breaching of trust, making working together rather difficult.

Our reporter further learnt that negotiations are on- going with other political parties as the Unity Forum set to adopt, either Action Democratic Party, (ADP) or Action Alliance (AA). It was, however revealed that a definite decision will be reached in not too distance future.

It would be recalled that the crisis in the Oyo ADC started when a faction of the party led by Senator Ladoja and Chief Michael Koleosho held a congress that excluded members of the Unity forum. According to Dr. Busari Adebisi, the Unity Forum leader, the congress was not only  “spurious but also curious, a congress many have said it’s illegal, if the intervention of Chief Olusegun Obasanjo will bring solace to the troubled party remains to be seen”.
