It Is Absurd To Leave APC For Unprincipled Politicians – Salinsile Faction

The Hon. Rasaq Salinsile faction of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in the State of Osun has reiterated its resolve to remain operational members of the party, notwithstanding the extent of impunity within the party’s fold.

Rising from a stakeholders’ meeting on Sunday, members of the party said there is a ground plot and sinister move by Governor Gboyega Oyetola-led IleriOluwa faction to blackmail them out of the APC.

OSUN DEFENDER gathered that it was jointly resolved at the stakeholders meeting that all members of the party who belong to the Hon Rasaq Salinsile faction should stay put in the party as genuine co-founders, co-developers and indeed co-sustainers who will not yield to the mischief of some politically naive jobbers whose understanding of politics doesn’t go beyond butter and bread.
This was revealed in a statement on Monday by Comrade Abiodun Agboola Publicity Secretary of the party.

He urged good spirited Nigerians to ignore Governor Oyetola-led IleriOluwa and cohort’s mischief that they’re not planning to leave the party.
The statement reads, “Our conviction to pursue a desired new order and restoration of rights, sanity and true progressive ideology became stronger with the conclusion of the APC’s national convention few days back. Including the alleged murderer of Chief Bola Ige in the national working committee of the party is indeed a big slap on the face of genuine progressives, but we will not abandon the platform for a fair weather friend and his sponsors whose desperation to undeserved political profits has led to the bastardization of the progressives norms and values.

“However, the stakeholders believe that the newly installed national executives of the APC (excluding the political prostitute among them) may as well be a very bright hope which will put an end to the impunity riddled Caretaker Committee which had Governor Oyetola as member, thus making him to roughshod all our pleas.

“As authentic members of the APC who worked assiduously for the restoration of progressive movement to government in the State of Osun, and has not engaged in free window political transfers like the Oyetola people, it will be absurd for us to leave the party for the unprincipled politicians who don’t mind it sinking if it comes to that.

“Instead of leaving the party, we will continue to relentlessly and systematically pursue the court cases we have on our hands; we are sure of victory on the suits, if they are devoid of vicious human interference.

“The cloudy situation in Osun APC is a passing phase which will definitely come to an end by the grace of God who has not, and will never support treachery and the patriotic zeal of the new management team of the APC at the national level who desires success for the party.

“We are the original inheritors and proud sustainers of the progressive politics and governance in Osun and therefore cannot leave it for Minimalists who have not offered the people tangible democratic dividends in about four years now.”
