In reaction to the crisis rocking the party, a gubernatorial aspirant, Chief Niyi Akintola, SAN has said that party elders will not allow indiscretion to tarnish the image of All Progressives congress, APC.
Akinola also confirmed the plans of the National leadership of the All Progressives Congress (APC) to meet stakeholders from Oyo State in a bid to resolving the crisis sorrounding the election of new state executives for the party.
The legal luminary who had earlier called for calm among members noted that the party leaders and elders in the state will not fold their arms and watch things degenerate.
The Director General, Niyi Akintola Organization, Chief Adeniyi Oyekunle who confirmed the development in a statement also said the Senior Advocate of Nigeria has received the invitation for the meeting.
Oyekunle said “The air around Ibadan Oyo State capital pulsates with uncertainty. Among genuine APC members the expectation is the next move after the fowling up of the air with the putrid smell of the Kangaroo Congress purportedly affirming a candidate when the platform to do that had not been confirmed by the party Secretariat.
“In the meantime, a rumour filtered in on Tuesday that the APC party headquarters has finally responded and has scheduled a stakeholders meeting for 1PM on Thursday at Buhari House in Abuja.
“Our legal luminary and Senior Advocate of Nigeria, Chief Niyi Akintola had been notified of the said meeting therefore I can confirm the veracity of the meeting with Mai Mala Buni in Abuja which will hopefully lead to a genuine Congress on November 6.
“Chief Akintola had earlier persuaded aggrieved party members to toe the line of peace and steer clear of anything that will put them in the same class with the people attempting to steal the collective rights of all law abiding APC members.
“The party elders will not allow this indiscretion to tarnish the image of APC going into 2023.”
