Al-Yakub Ogun State Chairman Committee reacts



The chairman of the congress committee in the state, Alhaji Mohammed Al-Yakub, however, denied knowledge of parallel congress, saying he was only aware of the congresses held at designated centres by his committee.
I am not aware of any parallel congress in Ogun, because we have designated centres for each local government.

I have also sent members of the committee to monitor the exercise across the three senatorial districts and they said it was peaceful and smooth.
I believe that this congress will produce leaders who will restore the lost glory of the party in Ogun and wrestle the power from the ruling All Progressives Party (APC).

We carried all the members along and asked any intending contestant to approach the party secretariat to obtain forms.
Those who are alleging that we are hoarding forms are lying, because we operate an open door policy.

We gave everybody a level playing field and equal opportunity.
What I know is that some people cannot consider themselves as conducting authentic congress without nomination forms,” he said.
