The seeming frisky relationship currently rocking the state of Osun chapter of APC will last long as it is an internal affair which will soon be internally settled.
Commissioner for Information and Civic Orientation in the state ,Mrs Funke Egbemode disclosed this while featuring on a radio programme ,”Lagbo Oselu.”
Egbemode dismissed the notion in certain quarters that the development might affect the fortune of the party in the 2022 governorship election in Osun.
She described it as an afterthought of the highest order which will never see the light of the day.
The information Commissioner averred that in politics, just like life, there are bound to be occasional conflicts and disagreements between and among people.
She maintained that no matter how long or short such disagreement festers, as a matter of fact, it must be settled one day.
This, according to her is what the party leadership at the local and state levels are currently working on day and night.
Egbemode likened the perceived political animosity between the supporters of the incumbent Governor Gboyega Oyetola on one hand and the immediate past governor, Ogbeni Rauf Aregbesola on the other hand as being over exaggerated politically beyond the limit of reasonability .
“I must tell you that It amazes me as people in and outside political circles overblow the current development in our party, the APC in Osun. It sounds ridiculously funny but frankly speaking, it is not as politically frosty and bad as being painted by people.
“Politics is a game of interest where occasionally there must be disagreements. Of course, the ideal lifeline that we are currently exploring as a one strong political family in Osun APC is to settle the perceived differences ,if at all they even exist.
“But I must emphasise for record purposes that the situation in our party is not as politically tensed and stormy as being presently bandied about by some political and non political jobbers.
“I want to tell you that in few days time ,by the special grace of God, the disagreement will fizzle out completely as it came and the Osun APC will become stronger, virile and more cohesive than it used to be before the perceived crisis.”
Speaking on the July 2022 governorship election in the state of Osun as officially announced by INEC vis a vis the preparation of the Osun APC for the election just like other political parties, Egbemode affirmed that with God coupled with the overwhelming support of the people of the state of Osun, who in the first instance voted Oyetola into power, his second term ambition is a done deal, stressing that come 2022, no vacancy in Okefia government house.
