A political group on the platform of the All
Progressives Congress (APC) has expressed
shock at a recent decision of the party
- The group known as Change for Real (CFR) is
at a loss over a decision of a screening panel of
the party in the Osun West senatorial race
- The group had campaigned vigorously
against imposition of candidates for the by-
election
The Change for Real (CFR), a political group of the
ruling APC, has described as shocking, revelations
coming out of meeting of the party's National
Working Committee (NWC) on Monday, June 12.
The group claimed that at the meeting, the
national chairman of the APC, Chief John Oyegun
begged the members to compromise the screening
and appeal panel's reports that had earlier
disqualified Mr. Mudashiru Hussain, from
contesting the Osun West senatorial ticket of the
APC.
The screening and appeal panels set up by the
party had based their judgement to disqualify
Mudashiru on the constitution of the party's law
which forbids a serving public official from
contesting election of such nature.
But Oyegun reportedly caved into pressure top
chieftains of the party in favour of the said
Governor Aregbesola's candidate.
A statement signed on Tuesday, June 13, by the
national coordinator of the group, Abayomi
Oluremi in Abuja, said what is current happening
in APC as regard Osun Senatorial re-run “is no
more democracy by impunity.”
The group said it reliably gathered from an
undisclosed NWC member who attended the
meeting how eight out of twelve voted in support
of the appeal panel's report but the national
chairman allegedly acted contrary to their votes.
The group said: “Our source reliably informed us
that Chief Oyegun while begging the NWC
members to allow Mr Mudashiru Hussain to
contest Tuesday's senatorial ticket in Osun, told
them that he was getting serious pressure from the
Acting President Yemi Osinbajo.
“We were shocked to hear that Chief Oyegun for
the first time also admitted at the meeting that he
betrayed Asiwaju Tinubu and Gov. Aregbesola in
the Kogi and Ondo state governorship elections,
hence the need to dance to their tune in this Osun
senatorial re-run to save his seat as APC national
chairman.”
The group called for the reversal of the appeal
panel's report, warning that even if Hussain
emerge the party's candidate, opposition political
parties will definitely take advantage of it and
challenge his illegality to contest the poll.
“We are saying that even if the NWC has power to
wave its own constitution in favour of
Aregbesola's candidate, do they also have power to
wave the legal issues that will follow because the
said preferred candidate did not swear an affidavit
as revealed by the screening and appeal panels?"
the group affirmed.
The group, however, threatened that they will do
everything possible to ensure that APC lose the
senatorial election if nothing is done to uphold
the decisions of the two panels set up by the
party.
“We are using this medium to warn Chief Oyegun
not to compromise his position or bow to any form
of pressure from Bola Tinubu or Aregbesola
against the wish of Osun people.
“We are also calling on the party leadership to
immediately give the go ahead for the primaries to
hold, as Osun people will never accept any change
outside the current position of the screening and
the appeal panels that have rejected the candidacy
of Mr Mudashiru Hussain,” the CFR warned.

Confusion everywhere in APC.They have surely gathered but their scattering knew no limit.Rivers APC is in the same confusion.

There are series of confusion in Apc presently. Infact there are conflict between jagaban tinubu and Apc national chairman oyegun. Not to talk of state level too. There are series of confusion too among the members of osun state Apc. Some people didn't agree with ogbeni on adopting mudashir hussain. It is after next month bye election the people will know the level of Apc in the state of osun.

you already nailed it here. Infact it will shock them next month when the people of osun west constituency won't vote for the Apc next month. People are no more interested in voting for party again. What the people are voting for is personality and what the person can offer them in their constituency.
