Ajimobi ‘calls’ for peace in APC after Oshiomhole’s suspension
Abiola Ajimobi, acting chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), has called for calm in the ruling party, according to his aide.
However, there are unconfirmed reports that Ajimobi is currently indisposed and not in a position to know what is happening in the party.
Ajimobi is assumed to have become the APC acting national chairman on Tuesday after the court of appeal affirmed the suspension of Adams Oshiomhole.
An Abuja high court in March 2020 ordered the suspension of Oshiomhole as national chairman of the APC.
In a statement on Tuesday night, Bolaji Tunji, special adviser to Ajimobi, quoted the former Oyo governor, as saying the peace in the party should be maintained until a meeting of national executive committee (NEC) is called.
“We should therefore let peace continue to reign until we call the NEC meeting and take a position on the way forward,” the former governor as saying.
Ajimobi was picked as the APC deputy national chairman (south) in March following his nomination by the party stakeholders in the south-west.
Niyi Adebayo held the position until he was appointed as minister of trade by President Muhammadu Buhari.
