…Says Olaifa is not Oyo APC member
JOSEPH OKWUOFU, Ibadan
Members of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in the Oluyole local government area of Oyo State have rejected in totality the nomination and appointment of Dr Ibrahim Olaifa as a member of the newly established South West Development Commission (SWDC).
Speaking on behalf of the aggrieved APC members, Mr Kunle Ajao said Oĺaifa can never represent Oluyole federal constituency or local government in federal appointment because he has ceased to be a member of the party since 2022 ahead of 2023 general election.
The aggrieved members, while speaking with journalists in Ibadan, the Oyo State capital, on Friday, expressed dismay over the appointment.
They maintained that Olaifa decamped from APC to Accord when he could not secure Oluyole Federal House of Representatives ticket for the second term under APC, noting that while others including the Minister of Power, Chief Adebayo Adelabu have rejoined the APC after the 2023 election, Olaifa is yet to do so.
“How on earth can he now be nominated to represent Oluyole and APC in this highly important commission. This is grossly unfair, unjust, unmeritorious and utterly against the principle of justice, fairness and equity that our great Leader, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu and our party, APC, are known for.
“We believe that the president must have been misled in nominating the wrong person. We are using this medium to call on those who matter in the selection and nomination of federal appointments to make their findings and reverse his nomination.
“There are many party faithful, who worked tirelessly for the victory and emergence of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu at Oluyole local government, who can genuinely represent APC at the national level”. This is just a case of monkey dey work baboon dey chop. It is most unfair.
