A group within the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Oke Ero local government area of Kwara state, known as G10, has called for regular party meetings and a stronger bond between members of the party and its elected public office holders.
Speaking with journalists over alleged failure of the party to hold meeting since the conclusion of the 2023 general elections, a stakeholder in the APC and the immediate past deputy Speaker of the Kwara state House of Assembly, Hon. Raphael Olalekan Adetiba, said that the G10 group, which represents the 10 wards in Oke Ero LGA, was established to prevent the party from sinking.
He said that the efforts of Governor Abdulrahman Abdulrazaq and President Bola Tinubu in repositioning Nigeria should not be jeopardized by internal disunity.
“We formed G10 to salvage our party from imminent collapse. The party should not exist only during elections. Meetings and engagements are essential for fostering unity and ensuring that APC remains formidable in Oke Ero”, he said.
Also, a chieftain of the party in Oke Ero LGA, Chief Oluwanishola Adeoti, advised the local government chairman not to allow hijacking of the party structure or any attempt to run it without convening political meetings.He described the development as an abnormality in any political setting, urging the council chairman to support the G10’s initiative rather than working against it.
“If we must strengthen APC ahead of the 2027 general elections, all hands must be on deck. The council chairman should join forces with G10 to ensure the party remains united and formidable,” he said.
