The Osun Progressives (TOP), a Caucus of the All Progressives Congress (APC) has called on all party members that did not make the local government caretaker committee appointment to remain strong and loyal to their beliefs in the ideal of Progressive politics.
The group within APC in a statement signed by the Chairman Adelowo Adebiyi and obtained by Adulawonews on Friday.
The statement reads,
“You were urged not to defect to another party due to their exclusion from the list of appointees but remain resolute in the pursuit of a virile, functional and well administered APC for the sake of good governance which only the progressives politicians could offer.”
” it is truly not possible for everyone to be appointed at the same time, the brazen exclusion of non members of the IleriOluwa Group was distastefully sufficient for anybody to protest”
The APC caucus noted with displeasure, the deceitful manner in which majority of the members of the party were treated, saying such is unacceptable in any plural democracy.
The TOP thus urged all members who were dissatisfied with the handling of the LG appointments to explore internal option and follow the lane where they will be treated with fairness, equity and justice denied them by the current leadership.
The APC caucus maintained that the coming APC congress will afford them the opportunity to choose the best candidate to manage the party affairs with equity, fairness and justice.”

The TOP congratulate Governor Adegboyega Oyetola for having the courage to eventually make the appointments and those who make the list for their forbearance in waiting through the long time it took and wish them successful tenure of office.
