No One Intimidated You, We Only Caution You To Stop Parading Yourself As Party Chairman - Omoniyi Tells Babalola

Architect Joseph Olugbenga (IBSW PARTY CHAIRMAN) 

The All Progressives Congress (APC) party chairman for Ibadan Southwest local government in Oyo State Architect Joseph Olugbenga Omoniyi under the leadership of the state's chaiman Honourable Issac Omodewu has said that the allegation against the party in the state by one Mr Sunday Babalola is nothing but false. Southwest-frontier.com reports.

The recognized party chairman Architect Omoniyi who made a disclosure to SOUTHWEST-FRONTIER NEWS in a telephone conversation said, “We are here to right the wrongs and heal the wounds. We can always iron things out as a family. When there is unity, we can achieve great things as a family. You don’t throw away your family because you are upset. You don’t fabricate lies against your family because things do not go your way. We should not allow the people we took power from us get back into power in 2023. We can only win the war with unity.

Arch Omoniyi added that, Mr Sunday Babalola is the factional Chairman of Abu Gbadamosi that were not recognized by the national leadership of the party. But Babalola out of his despiration for power went ahead to sworn in ward Chairmen from ward 1 to 12 of Ibadan Southwest local government. He did not only do that alone which is illegal, He also Forged the party certificate and presented it to them all. This was the highest disregard to the constitution and authority of the party and aberation in all standard.

As a result of this. The recognized local government Chairman of the party Arc Joseoh Olugbenga Omoniyi, after the due consultation with the State chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC) wrote a petition of impersonation and forgery of certificates against Mr Sunday Babalola to the Oyo state Commissioner of police.

Mr Babalola was invited by the police for questioning and was made to write statements. So, Mr Babalola was never intimidated as He has rightly claimed in a statements He issued to newsmen.

The reonciliation committee by the state Chairman of the party, Hon. Issac Omodewu, the leadership of the party reconsidered the issue to allow peace and ensure full compliance to the reconciliation, the party sent the former majority leader of the state house of assembly, Hon. Hazzan Subair to withdraw the petition against Mr Sunday Babalola to enable in- house settlement.

The insinuation, that the state Chairman Hon. Issac Omodewu arrested him was indeed far from the true position of things.

“We should not allow any disagreement within the family to distract us from our noble cause. I will operate an open door policy in Ibadan Southwest local government. Arch Omoniyi concluded.
