Despite what some members of the coalition that led to emergence of the Seyi Makinde led administration has described as ungratefulness on the part of the governor due to his failure to fulfill his promises to them, the executive council of the African Democratic Congress, ADC, has stated that the party is committed to nurturing good governance in the state.
The party executive stated this in a communique issued at the end of a meeting held earlier today.
They also revealed that the party currently stands solidly behind its flag bearer at the 2019 gubernatorial polls, Senator Olufemi Lanlehin in whatever political decision he makes.
A vote of confidence was also passed on the Rev. Ezekiel Adeniran led executive of the party.
The communique issued read in parts: “That we affirm our utmost support, belief and indeed, express our unalloyed loyalty, to the leadership of Senator Olufemi Lanlehin (SOLAN), our sincere, honest and principled governorship candidate in the 2019 polls, and stand by him solidly, in whatever political decisions he makes, knowing fully that as a selfless patriot, he always has our best interest at heart;

“That our party and its members will continue to be vanguards of democracy and advocates of good governance, and will never for once, be disappointed, particularly at the level of ungratefulness being displayed by those helped to power, who instead of reciprocating kind gestures, have elected to turncoat, rather, we would continue to contribute our quota to the peace, progress and prosperity of Oyo State and Nigeria;
