The ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) has released the names
of its new state chairpersons in 34 states and Abuja, stating that
congresses were not held in Ekiti and Osun states due to the coming
elections there and so both states have no newly elected chairpersons.
According to PREMIUM Times, a review of the list shows that the
party dumped the elected chairman by a faction of the APC in Lagos.
Fouad Oki, who was elected chairman by a faction of the Lagos APC was
ignored. Instead, Tunde Balogun, who was elected chairman by the main
faction loyal to ex-governor Bola Tinubu was recognised by the party.
In Kwara, the APC recognised Ishola Fulani as chairman. Mr Fulani
was elected chairman by the main faction of the party loyal to Senate
President Bukola Saraki. Moshood Bolarinwa, who was elected chairman by
the Kwara APC faction loyal to Minister of Information, Lai Mohammed,
was ignored.
In Oyo State, the APC leadership recognised Akin Oke who was
re-elected chairman by the Governor Abiola Ajimobi faction. Isiaka
Alimi, who was elected by the APC faction led by the Minister of
Communication, was ignored.
