Tension In Osun APC Over Zoning Of NASS Tickets

Stakeholders of the All Progressives Congress APC, in Irepodun and Orolu Local Government Areas of the State of Osun State, on Monday, kicked against plans to zone the party’s Osun Central Senatorial ticket and that of Osogbo Federal Constituency to Osogbo and Olorunda Local Government Areas.

Osogbo Federal Constituency is home to Osogbo Local Government, Olorunda Local Government, Orolu Local and Iropodun Local Government respectively.

In a communique issued after a meeting of the stakeholders compromising ward executive committee and local government executives from the two local government areas in Ilobu, the party leaders warned that the move is capable of destabilizing the party.

Honourable Abayomi Oyedeji, the Secretary of the APC in Osogbo Federal Constituency who read the communique called on the State governor, Adegboyega Oyetola, ex-governor Bisi Akande, and the APC state chairman, Gboyega Famoodun, to intervene and call to order those behind the plot.

The communique reads in part, “Specifically, we support the zoning of the Senate to either Osogbo Local Government Area or Olorunda Local Government Area, and the zoning of member representing the Federal Constituency at the House of Representatives to either Irepodun Local Government Area or Orolu Local Government Area to ensure justice, fairness and equity.

“We wish to point out that whoever thinks that the Osogbo Local Government Area or Olorunda Local Government Area will grab and snatch from us the candidacy of the member of the House of Representatives for the next National Assembly elections is deliberately nursing a motive that will destabilise the Federal Constituency. The move, if it is true, will be resisted with all means at our disposal as integral parts of the Federal Constituency.”
