Wait Till Tuesday – Oyo APC Tells Members to Disregard LG Elections Guidelines in Circulation
The All Progressives Congress (APC) in Oyo state has asked its members to disregard a guideline on the local government council election in circulation and wait till Tuesday for a comprehensive one.
In the early hours of today, Saturday, guidelines on the local government council election were spotted on social media.
Olawale Sadare, Oyo APC Publicity Secretary in a statement issued today and made available to journalists in Ibadan described the purported guideline as fake saying it did not emanate from Oke-Ado, the state secretariat of the Party.
Sadare, however, urged members of the public especially APC faithful to disregard it and await official information latest on Tuesday.
Last weekend, the Oyo APC indicated its preparedness to field chairmanship and councilorship candidates in the planned local government council poll scheduled for April next year according to the public announcement earlier made, and the election timetable released, by the Oyo State Independent Electoral Commission (OYSIEC).
The publicity secretary, Sadare also appealed to the teeming APC members for calm “as necessary efforts are being put in place to ensure that candidates fielded by the party do not just participate at the poll for the fun of it”.
“As of today, the leadership of Oyo APC has constituted a 7-man Committee to work out modalities for stakeholder engagement, party primary, and electioneering campaigns among other necessary things. The said Committee, which was inaugurated on Monday by the state chairman, Hon. Isaac Omodewu, has swung into action immediately and its report is being awaited. Until the Committee comes up with its final report and it is ratified by the appropriate authorities, nothing would be done in respect of the forthcoming council poll.
“It is also important to note that the state chairman has scheduled meetings with some key stakeholders this weekend on this same matter and the imperative of this is to ensure that no stone is left unturned to guarantee a hitch-free and successful exercise for our great Party. To this end, we urge our teeming party men and women as well as supporters to exercise patience as we have set a deadline of this Tuesday for the release of the comprehensive guidelines.” Oyo APC stated.
