‘Defeating APC in Osun was herculean but achieved with common front’ | The Guardian Nigeria News - Nigeria and World News ⬇️
After the election of a substantive executive team during the week, he spoke to SEYE OLUMIDE, Southwest Bureau Chief, on how the party rode to victory and the new lease of life under Adeleke’s administration.
And one thing we observed was that the All Progressives Congress in the state was already taking advantage of the crises, by poaching and encroaching into our party and winning some of our party members to themselves. At the end, we were able to reconcile a very sizeable number of members, and engaged them to see why we had to come together as one big family to kick out the uninspiring APC administration.
Some of his associates, who we tried to assist to see the reason we should work together, but were still adamant even after his expulsion , were also suspended. They remain suspended as I speak.I said it earlier that it was some extraneous influence. If not, where did they get the funds to hire lawyers and move from one court to another? You know how expensive litigation is across the country.
Anywhere they had issues, we quickly moved there and resolved them and forged ahead. So, there was this atmosphere of conviviality. Everyone was happy about the methods that we adopted to reconcile all members. And we were able to shield our candidates from the APC government, and I am happy that at the end of the day, we were able to make remarkable success in all the elections – presidential, National Assembly and House of Assembly elections.
Obviously, the Supreme Court judgment will come up this May and we have hope in the judiciary to do the needful. I don’t know what you mean by being strategic, what I know is that what the people need is good governance and that is what we have been providing. They have been part of the success in the last 12 months and we worked together to stabilise the party. So, I am not surprised that they are coming in and it will be so easy and seamless to transition because the Exco is made up of an experienced and compact team that will give their full support to the executive governor to carry out his duties.
