Parallel Congress Not Allowed In Osun– Osun APC

The All Progressives Congress (APC) in the state of Osun has said that any person or group of people planning to conduct parallel Congress aside from the main party Congress will not be allowed by the party.

The party’s Director of Publicity, Research and Strategy, Barr Kunle Oyatomi reinstated the National Secretary, Caretaker Extraordinary Convention Planning Committee CECPC, Sen. John James Akpanudoedehe that “all pending litigations instituted by members against the party should be withdrawn forthwith, and going forward, no member should institute matters against the party, without exhausting the internal mechanism for conflict resolution, as enshrined in the party’s constitution’’.

The APC leadership at the National level had unanimously vowed to dish out maximum punishment to offenders in accordance with its constitutional provisions.

According to the CECPC Secretary, “party leaders and members should know that sanction await whoever holds parallel Congress and all activities that may be carried out by persons to put the party and its officers in bad light, before, during and after the congresses should be jettisoned”.

“All activities or processes leading up to the congresses and thereafter which do not have the approval of the CECPC are exercises in futility, this means that any parallel congress, parallel party organ and or parallel party office, is a nullity”.

“For the avoidance of doubt, the party shall deploy the full weight of the law as stipulated in section 21(D) of our party’s Constitution on any one who perpetrates such unlawful Act(s) and also on their sponsors.

Oyatomi therefore enjoined all the party members in the state to come out massively and make the exercise peaceful.
