The National Leader of the All Progressives Congress ,APC, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, has threatened to leave the party if its control in Oyo State is taken from Governor Abiola Ajimobi.
This is coming as a result of the crisis over the last ward congress in Oyo State which took a new turn.
According to EagleOnline, sources close to the national headquarters of the party said Tinubu flew into Abuja earlier in the week to intervene in the crisis brewing over the ward congress across the state, which affected his interests.
Eagleonline, while quoting sources said Tinubu was said to have passed clear messages to the Presidency and the leadership of the party that he would leave if Ajimobi, his ally, is denied the control.
Party sources said Tinubu felt that he would be losing grip of the South West if Oyo State is taken away
This is because he controls only three chapters of the party: Lagos, Oyo and Osun States, while forces loyal to the Presidency control Ogun, Ondo and Ekiti States.
The loss of Oyo State will reduce his hold to two states, thereby further eroding his influence in the party.
