Ending the crisis rocking Oyo state APC

He noted that should the party leadership fail to resolve the crisis brewing in the state, security votes for the part will be only a dream that would be difficult to actualise.

His words:

“In Oyo State, the unfortunate crisis bedevilling the All Progressives Congress, APC, is sending a very wrong signal, which needs to be collectively taken cognisance of and decisively laid to rest by the national leadership of the party.
“Senator Folarin must not forget that Oyo state political actors can never be easily manipulated nor coerced to do whatever they might have made up their minds against."

Alawuje called on Tinubu and the entire leadership of the APC to step in before it is too late as all is not well in Oyo State APC.
