JUST IN: Ajimobi Not Our Deputy National Chairman – APC

The Southwestern region of the All Progressive Congress (APC) has distanced itself from a media report, which indicated that it had endorsed the former governor of Oyo State, Abiola Ajimobi, as the deputy national chairman of the party for the South-West.

As reported yesterday, the APC South-West caucus had approved the appointment of Ajimobi as the deputy national chairman of APC, at the Osogbo meeting of the APC leadership.

According to the statement issued yesterday and signed by the APC Zonal Publicity Secretary, Karounwi Oladapo, in Ado- Ekiti, explained that the story was fabricated and it was a complete falsehood as nothing like that happened in the said meeting.

In the statement, “Members of the public and APC members should disregard such claims. How can the leadership Caucus in Abuja ratify a non-existent endorsement and approval as claimed by this publication.

“As the Zonal Publicity Secretary, statutorily responsible for dissemination of news and information from the Zonal Caucus, I did not issue any after the Osogbo meeting because I was not to so do.

“Where then did the publisher of the report obtain his information? We expect such to take seriously any matter that can put its integrity into question,” Oladapo said.
