Aregbesola, according to some leaders of the APC in the state, has declared that he would appoint the chairmen for the caretaker committees in all the 67 local governments and area councils.

The Governor had directed the party to nominate three members of the committee while he would nominate two members among which is the chairman in each of the local government.

This step, according to them, is against the democratic practice of allowing the party to choose chairman of the committee in each of the local government.

CityMirrorNews noted that though the APC members are unhappy with Aregbesola’s decision, but they could not challenge him on the move.

However, the APC members were grumbling and expressing their displeasure on the Governor’s decision to one-another

Some of the aggrieved APC members who spoke with CityMirrorNews on Sunday described the Governor’s move as tyrannical and selfish, saying that he has no regard for the party.

The APC members said Aregbesola was preparing ground for imposition in the 2018 gubernatorial primary of the party with his decision to appoint the caretaker chairmen.
