The Oyo State All Progressive Congress (APC), North America Chapter, has congratulated the new state chairman of the party, Mr. Isaac Omodewu and other newly inaugurated executive members, including the chairmen of the party across the local government areas.

Omodewu, a former Commissioner in the State, was last Thursday inaugurated as the APC chairman, alongside other 34 state chairmen by Governor Mai Mala Buni-led Caretaker Extraordinary Convention Planning Committee (CECPC), in Abuja, the nation’s capital.

Mr Omodewu, thereafter on Monday, at the Oke-Ado party secretariat, Ibadan, the state capital, inaugurated the state executive members as well as the 33 local government chairmen of the party.

In a statement jointly signed by its chairman and secretary, Hon. Olalekan Sanni, and Mr Niyi Adekola on Tuesday, and made available to newsmen in Ibadan, the Oyo State APC, North America chapter charged the new chairman to com­mence the process of uniting the aggrieved stakeholders and members ahead of 2023 general elections.

“We charge the new chairman of our dear Party to immediate­ly commence the exercise of getting all members united, mending fences among stakeholders and loyalists for the overall victory of the party, come 2023 general elections”, the group said.

While noting that the 2019 general election in the state was an eye opener, the diaspora group, also appealed to stakeholders and members to remain faithful and committed in view of current challenges.

It further sued for peace and harmony devoid of bitterness, desperation, self-centredness and divisive tendencies so that the party can achieve the desired goals in the end.

“Obviously, the success of our dear APC in the forthcoming election cannot be compromised by the good people of Oyo state who are already bored by the maladministration and self inflicted security challenges of the Seyi Makinde-led ruling Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) administration.

“Oyo State deserves a vibrant and patriotic leadership driven only by genuine interest, to put the security and welfare of its citizens ahead of other considerations.

“At this critical time, we must jettison all divisive tendencies including unguarded statements that could further polarise our Party and pitch us against one another”, the statement added.
