A pressure group , The Concerned APC Loyalists in a press release issued by its Director of Media, Prince Oyewumi-Adeniyi in Akure has lauded the recent position taken at a meeting of All Progressives Congress, (APC) leaders in Ondo State in Abuja, with the theme, “repositioning of Ondo APC” held at the Ambassador Sola Iji’ s resident in Abuja.
The group in its reaction to the attack by Mr. Femi Adekanmbi against the position canvassed by the party leaders in Abuja said; it’s a common knowledge amongst party members that the party is suffocating and gasping for breath under the obnoxious leadership of Mr. Ade Adetimehin and that the party is indeed in need of restructuring and repositioning as suggested by the distinguished and respected leaders in their meeting in Abuja.
“ We laud the courage of our distinguished leaders for this timely intervention which of course is long overdue. It came at the time when party faithfuls in the state are praying for deliverance from the atrocious leadership style of Adetimehin led state working committee of the party.
” No doubt, and nobody is disputing or dragging the leadership of the party with our amiable leader Arakunrin Rotimi Akeredolu SAN, CON who’s recuperating abroad, but that does not stop those who want to rescue the party not to do so. We cannot all close our eyes and fold our arms and allow Adetimehin and his cohorts to continue to mess up the fortunes of our great party in the state.
“We would not have dignify the tantrum of Mr. Adekanmbi,who does not know that APC in Ondo state is total disarray and Adetimehin is not fit to lead such a dynamic party in the state. As democrats, how does a call for restructuring of the party by concerned leaders and stakeholders exhibiting their constitutional rights elicited indignation and vituperation?
The group berated the crude manner at which the party is run from the state to the ward level citing the last party primaries which was chaotically mismanaged.
Oyewumi Adeniyi debunked the insinuation by Mr Adekanmbi as grossly unnecessary as the well respected Leaders are relevant stakeholders in the state with large following.
” We do not blame Mr. Adekanmbi, there is no way he could appreciate or value the sacrifice of these Leaders for the party to be where it is today.
“What is desperation in Stakeholders meeting to reposition a badly organized party like the APC in Ondo State” he asked.
Continuing Adeniyi said “we do not see anything provocative in the action of our party leaders in Abuja.”
“We vividly remember when we started this party in 2014, these are the leaders that were at the forefront providing resources, investing their time to ensure the party take a strong footing in the state before the mediocres crept in and reduced the party to garrison command. Where was Femi Adekanmbi , the spokesperson of Adetimehin when the party started?”
The group pleaded with the elders to overlook Mr Adekanmbi rants and save the party from an imminent self-destruct, assuring them of the support of majority of suffering party faithfuls in the state who have been labouring without rewards or patronage.
