The Oyo State chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC) has rejected the nomination of Mr Adebayo Shittu  from the state for minister.

The party, in a statement yesterday, said Shittu would not serve the interest of the people, adding that he is not a team player.

The statement reads: “The State Working Committee (SWC) of our great party, the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Oyo State met on October 1 and resolved as follows:

“That President Muhammadu Buhari deserves commendation for beginning to lead the campaign for laying a foundation for the desired change by Nigerians through his enviable leadership within a short period that his administration was inaugurated.

“That we pledge our unalloyed loyalty and support for the national leadership and levels of our great party while at the same time appreciate the followership for their cooperation in repositioning our dear country.



“That we like to appreciate the fact that going by the 2015 presidential election results, Oyo State performed creditable in terms of contribution of votes to the overall success of our party, in ranking, Oyo State came first in the Southwest with 528,620 votes, third position in the whole South and seventh in the whole federation. Similarly, we won all the three senatorial seats and 12 of 14 House of Representative seats too. This we considered no mean feat.

“Surprisingly, however, our performance has not been commensurately rewarded at the national level.  For instance, Your Excellency, the current power matrix shows that the Deputy Speaker of the House of Representatives hails from Osun State while the Chairman of the Federal Inland Revenue is a Lagosian. Both in the Senate and House of Representatives, no lawmaker from Oyo State heads any committees that had so far been constituted.

“Your Excellency, sir, the recent media reports of the ministerial nominees from Oyo State in person of Barrister Adebayo Shittu has further compounded our political challenges because of the unacceptability and rejection by the vast majority of our people.

“He is not a team player. Despite the fact that he and his cohorts were fully accommodated in the APC, he exhibited a cantankerous and uncooperative attitude in his relationship with the party and its leadership, which was uncalled for. We can recall that our amiable governor appointed his one-time female running mate as a senior special assistant (SSA) political matters till May 28. Also, the state chairman of CPC as well as the state secretary of the ANPP were equally given commissionership slot in Oyo State. This is a further demonstration of the fact that the state APC does not believe in a winner-takes-all or zero-sum kind of politics.

“It is curious to note that Barrister Shittu refused to bluntly participate in all party activities including campaigns except on one occasion of the presidential rally in Ibadan. Till date, he has refused to participate in party activities or feature in any governmental programmes at all levels.

which burning issue again?this news was widely reported in virtually all the national dailies on the 2nd of October, so what's d big deal in bringing it here on 8th October?

Nigerians will always cry or wail in any move by the president. APC wan the election on the mantra of change. Now we have a new person as minister, probably a technocrat, but u guys dont just want him because he's not an ex governor, ex senator, or stakeholder. The state APC likes it or not. Shittu will serve. All.what they need to do now is to assist him with prayers not to bring him down.

Chopping each others leg and tomorrow dey will say he did nothing for the state. How he go do something when una don dey spoil him luck already.

I wrote issue not news.

This Oyo State Chapter of APC are very funny and selfish, I'm from Saki where Adebayo Shittu hailed from, our region (Oke-Ogun) has been marginalized for a very long time, no any major development in the whole Saki, the town is the same thing all this while and it's the third largest town in Oyo State, Imagine!!!

This issue is being championed by Ibadan people who think it's an insult to them for a minister from Oyo State to come from Saki not Ibadan, the greediness is too much which is unfair to people of Oke-Ogun.

In 2011, I voted in Saki and I've been in Lagos since then, because of my strong believe in President Muhammad Buhari agenda; I traveled home from Lagos just to go and vote and I can assure you that GEJ didn't even win in any polling unit not even talk of a ward in Saki West L.G, go check details of election results from Oyo State, PMB got highest vote in Saki West L.G out of all L.Gs in Oyo State with more than 27,000 votes and someone is here releasing a statement saying nonsense.

Adebayo Shittu is a technocrat, an incorruptible man like PMB, he has been with PMB since the life of CPC, he contested against Ajimobi in 2011 and lost, he was with PMB during the merger, he contested against Ajimobi again in 2015 APC Governorship Primary and lost, he didn't leave or work against the party and now, APC in Oyo State is out with their mischievous allegations against someone ordained by God. God is watching you people.

Una never see anything. lol
