For the next one year, members of the Oyo State chapter of the All Progressives Congress, APC, will adopt a ‘siddon look approach’ as the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, begins it’s administration.
OYO INSIGHT recalled that APC candidate, Oloye Adebayo Adelabu, had last week lost the governorship to PDP’s Engr. Seyi Makinde.
In a recent chat with The Nation, the party’s publicity secretary, Dr Olatunde AbdulAzeez, said: “The APC in Oyo State should restructure its activities. For the next one year, it will be ‘siddon look approach’. We have pretenders in the fold. Within one year, they will show their true colour. We shall embark on stock taking. The hypocrites among us would find their way; our blood will not desert us.”
This is just as he noted that this is not the time to blame any individual for the party’s misfortune.
His words: “I don’t believe in blame game. What matters to us now is how we are going to bounce back to power; it is not how long it takes you to get up when you fall, but the courage you bring into it that matters.
“As progressives, we know in politics, there must be challenges. How we are able to overcome these challenges will separate us from the conservatives. In 2003, we were in complete dark, when the entire Southwest, except Lagos State, was taken over by the PDP. We didn’t succumb; we took our time to re-strategise and reposition our party and by the grace of God, we regained power in 2011.
“In 2019, our problem is in isolation. In the whole of Southwest, only Oyo State was taken over by the PDP. The kitchen will be too hot for them. Oyo State is odd man in the Southwest. The PDP victory in Oyo State will not last.”
