A chieftain of the All Progressives Congress, APC, in Oyo State, Dr Fola Akinosun has said the show of political interest which led to the party’s parallel congresses in few local governments of the state was not out of place in politics.
Dr Akinosun stated this while speaking with Radio Nigeria correspondent in reaction to the recently held APC local government Congresses.
The grassroot politician said it was expected for political party like APC that has large followership and committed party lobbyists everywhere . There’s going to be genuine differences and interest, after all, democracy does not promise giving anything to a silent man. Akinosun describes “the disagreement to finally agree” as one of the beauties of politics.
Dr Akinosun however appealed to key stakeholders in the party not to allow the differences in interest to divide the unity APC is currently enjoying we must give room for negotiation to complement the party’s moves to resolve all issues. He said in his own case, he will not take sides, because he would eventually need the supports of both left and right wingers. what each and every agitator wants is their right as members of the party, just that the popular candidates should be allowed to hold positions in a true democracy.
Dr Akinosun commends the leadership and members of the APC in Oyo state for their peaceful conduct during the party’s local government congress. Thank God there is no casualty and it will never get to becoming court cases either.
He expressed optimism that the party remain strong, united and well positioned to take back power in the state in 2023. While we could have permanent interest, there is no permanent enemies in politics. We shall all come together again after the Congresses.
