A faction of the African Democratic Congress in Oyo State, on Monday distanced themselves from the purported withdrawal of the candidate of the party in the last election, Senator Olufemi Lanlehin from the alliance with the People’s Democratic Party in the state.
The faction said ADC, its teeming members, and supporters across the state are solidly in continued support of the governor, “believing that we are on the same page.” A letter addressed to the state governor of the state, Seyi Makinde and signed by the former secretary to the state government, on behalf of the party, Chief Busari Adebisi said; “stakeholders of the party have not abandoned the original leitmotifs, especially good governance for the people of the state which was the bases of the alliance.
“Another reason for the ADC was to participate and ensure the emergence of a credible alternative to Ajimobi’s lack-luster administration in the state. As it is customary in such political arrange nets, the parties in the coalition usually agree on a set of conditions, the basis of which they go into elections together. The summary of the agreement reached with the PDP for our party was 30 percent participation in government.
“Without prejudice to the above observations, I wish to unequivocally declare to you that our party, the ADC, its teeming members and supporters across Oyo State are solidly in continued support of your government, believing that we are still on the same page.”
