The Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Oye Local Government, Hon. Samuel Ogunsakin, has firmly refuted recent statements made by Prince Kayode Olowokere. The former Special Assistant on Political Affairs to Dr. Kayode Fayemi had opposed the endorsement of Governor Biodun Oyebanji’s second term, a position Ogunsakin has vigorously challenged.
“It is incumbent on us in Oye Local Government to set the record straight and clear the media space of the charade by Kayode Olowokere,” stated Hon. Ogunsakin.
Oye Local Government APC Party Chairman in a release he signed accused Olowokere of distorting the image of Oye Local Government and attempting to create division within the APC. “This is one of the fallacies peddled by Olowokere to create division in the Progressive party since he and his SDP boss were humiliated by the resounding voices of the Ekiti Kete in the June 18th, 2022, Governorship Election.”
Ogunsakin highlighted the unity within the APC, noting the endorsements of Governor Oyebanji by former Governors Kayode Fayemi, Niyi Adebayo, and Ayo Fayose. “These leaders have openly endorsed Governor Oyebanji for a second term during the first anniversary of his administration. This unanimous endorsement, driven by the governor’s remarkable achievements and inclusive governance, stands as a testament to his leadership.”
Questioning Olowokere’s credibility, Ogunsakin pointed out the incongruity of a Social Democratic Party member commenting on APC matters. “It’s perplexing how a betrayer and self-proclaimed SDP chieftain would respond on behalf of the APC to negate the openly expressed support of our party and leaders.”
He reaffirmed the alignment of Oye Local Government’s people and leaders with Governor Oyebanji’s administration. “Governor Oyebanji is driving economic change, fostering growth, and prioritizing the welfare of the people. His remarkable job at the helm of state affairs is recognized by all. We join numerous citizens in supporting BAO till 2030.”
