Osun APC faction, TOP declares end to hostilities within party

Members of the Osun All Progressives Congress (APC) loyal to a former governor of the state and Minister of Interior Rauf Aregbesola have announced a cessation of hostilities within the party in the state.

The faction also extended a hand of friendship to all genuine progressives for an all-inclusive meeting for the rebuilding of the party within the next week.

This was made known by Najeem Salaam, former Speaker of the Osun State House of Assembly during a press conference by The Osun Progressives (TOP) on Tuesday in Osogbo.

Salaam who revealed that he had the mandate of the leaders and members of TOP to invite other caucuses in the Osun APC and other parties to join in the endeavour, added that the call is one aimed at burying the hatcher and working for the greater good and service to humanity through progressive governance.

While maintaining that the reconciliation aims to ensure freedom for all and life more abundant for the people, Salaam stressed that the party is a platform for Omoluabi politicians and not the theatre of absurdity for all comers.

In his words, “We are gathered here today, given the trajectory of our party and the electoral misfortune we suffered in the governorship election of July 16, 2022, leading to our painful loss, to espouse our resolve and the way forward. We are here to inform the generality of our members and admirers that the progressive party that promotes their interests, protects their values and guarantees their rights is alive and ready to champion their cause once again.
