A chieftain of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Kwara, Akogun Iyiola Oyedepo, has critised another postponement of the National Convention of the party slated for Feb 26.
Oyedepo, who said this in a statement on Monday in Ilorin, said the postponment of the convention might not augur well for the party.
“I believe that the convention should not have been postponed again; this is because Nigerians will not take APC seriously if the convention is further postponed.
“The postponement of the convention will kill the morale of party members and our supporters throughout the width and breadth of the country.
“In fact, the postponement will be a confirmation that the Gov. Buni-led caretaker committee is up to a hidden agenda,” Oyedepo said.
The chieftaincy of the party,who said he envisaged that there might be crisis if the convention is held, said the leadership of the party ought to know the possibility of that and work along the line of ameliorating it.
“The injustice is not in one state, it is virtually in at least not less than 30 states of the federation where you can get pockets of crises or troubles.
“So if we go into the convention on the 26th of this month, what I think may happen is that, some people may not come for the convention; believing that they are not part of it.
“Some people may come to watch the proceeding to know how it will go, not necessarily because they wish the party well, but they want to see how the party will crash.
“Some people may want to go there to foment trouble and show their indignation against a party that they believe cannot take care of their interest.
“These are things that I think may happen at that convention,” Akogun added.
Our Correspondent recalls that the convention, initially scheduled for October 2021,was shifted to Feb. 26.
