From Ogundele Olanrewaju

An All Progressive Congress Chieftain, Oyo state gubernatorial aspirant has dissociated himself from senator Teslim folarin and Isaac Omodewu led party executives in Oyo state, noting that failure to call for a truce would pose grave consequences for the party.

Chief Niyi Akintola who made the declaration in a press briefing at his residence, claimed that despite effort by the national body to resolve challenges of APC in Oyo state, the Omodewu and Teslim Folarin led executives have remained adamant.

He also explained that having studied party politics over the years as a loyal party man, those who have penchant for hijacking party structure without endorsement from genuine members usually end up leading the party to great electoral loss

Chief Niyi Akintola however expressed confidence that challenges militating against the APC in Oyo state was surmountable provided the national body of the party intervenes in due time

While reacting on the tension over presidential aspiration of Asiwaju Bola Tinubu and Vice President Yemi Osibanjo, the legal luminary affirmed that every matured Nigerian adult has the right to vie for the nation’s presidency without offense to any interest, adding that, the true integrity and goodwill of a man could only be ascertained when he wins political power

Speaking on his current political move, the former governorship aspirant said he might be pursuing a governorship ambition but he was not so desperate as he remained a professional in politics rather than a political jobber
