The General Coordinator, Asiwaju Bola Ahmmed Tinubu Diaspora, Akogun Banji Ojo has charged the newly-elected National Secretary of All Progressives Congress (APC), Sen. Iyiola Omisore, on the party’s victory in the 2023 elections.
Akogun Ojo, in a press statement signed on Monday, congratulated Omisore and other National Working Committee (NWC), from the Chairman to the zonal executive members of the party.
He advised the Omisore to ignore political jobbers and to focus on NWC in order to work effectively with APC leaders and stakeholders to make the ruling party stronger win the forthcoming election.
Akogun Ojo acknowledged the efforts, time and initiative of the 7,000 delegates from 36 states and the Federal Capital Territory, Abuja, for participating in the convention and ensuring the emergence of credible and reasonable leaders in charge of the party.
According to him, “Those against Senator Omisore in his bid to become the National Secretary are political jobbers working against the good will and conscience of the general citizens of the country. They are actually in need of political limelight but their political relevance has ended, because they never understood the progressive nature of the party.
“They have refused to appreciate the legendary escapades of Omisore in the history of Osun state and Nigeria, even in the face of several charges to destroy his personality, political journey and service to humanity. Providence has proven their accusations wrong, bias and unverified. It is time to focus on the growth and development APC as people’s centered party.
He said that many candidates, especially the national chairmanship aspirants, stepped down because of the respect they had for the progressive nature of the party and the unparallel leadership traits of the party leaders.
Akogun Ojo also congratulated the representatives of Lagos State in the NWC, Mr Dayo Israel, who was elected as APC National Youth Leader.
