APC Citizens To Shun Anti-party Activities As LG Congresses Hold Today
The All Progressives Congress (APC) Committee Chairman for Local Government Congresses in Osun, Mr. Gbenga Elegbeleye, has called on members to be peaceful as the party conducts its congresses today, September 4.
He urged the contestants to shun anti-party activities.
Elegbeleye, who made this known on Friday at the APC Secretariat, Osogbo, said elections should not be seen as a do-or-die affair, adding that losers could always have another moment in the party.
He called for the support of ward leaders, urging them to assist in supervising and achieving peaceful elections.
According to him, the results of the congress are expected to come out without any delay.
He urged party faithful to uphold the principles of love and goodwill.
Gov. Adegboyega Oyetola also appealed to party members seeking elections into various positions at the local government level not to see it a battlefield affair.
Oyetola noted that the congress was an avenue to elect officers of the party, especially at the ward, local and state levels.
According to him, the losers in tomorrow’s local government congress should embrace the spirit of love and support rather than taking laws into their hands.
“There are several posts in the party which can still be occupied and not a do-or-die affair.
” What is important is to remain a loyal party member for the benefit of everyone and growth of the party.”
In her goodwill message, Mrs Foluke Ete, erstwhile Speaker of the House of Representatives, advised party members to visit their various constituencies to ratify the elections.
Ete noted that the party was ready to give its best in ensuring peaceful elections, devoid of violence.
“Osun has always been in an envious position when it comes to party affairs, thereby laying a good foundation for other states to emulate,“ she said.
Also, the Speaker, Osun House of Assembly, Hon. Timothy Owoeye , said election was another process of consolidating APC in the state.
Owoeye urged party faithful to exhibit the spirit of sportsmanship by doing away with anything that would give the party a bad name.
Earlier, Sen. Bashir Ajibola (APC, Osun-Central) called on all members to ensure that the party remained in power after the governorship election in 2022 and the presidential election in 2023.
Ajibola noted that every politics is local and urged party faithful to embrace consensus, coerciveness and unity which, he said, was germane.
A group, the Imo First Group (IFG) has described the purported Magistrate court order to arrest Senator Ifeanyi Araraume and the former governor of Imo State, Rochas Okorocha, over alleged criminal conspiracy and forgery, as a ruse and fake news
The group stated this in a statement issued on Saturday in Abuja.
IFG challenged those peddling the fake news to make the court order public.
The statement reads ” The fabricated and concocted story was first posted on social media by Hon. Ambrose Nwaogwugwu, a media aide to Governor Hope Uzodimma, before it was picked up by other media outfits, including Arise TV.
According to the statement, those behind the report claimed that a Senior Magistrate Court sitting in Abuja issued a Bench Warrant dated September 9, 2026, following a petition written by the Resident Electoral Commissioner (REC) in Imo State, Barr. Chukwuemeka Ibejiako, to the Police and DSS on October 8, 2026, over alleged presentation of fake APC primary results.
The Group debunked the existence of any such order.
“We want to state categorically and unequivocally that no jSenior Magistrate ordered or issued any bench warrant for the arrest of Araraume”
IFG however challenged anyone in possession of the purported court order to publish it.
“If you claim to have a court order present same for the public to see,
“This fabricated bench warrant contain in the report is filled with inconsistencies, the bench warrant was dated September 9, 2026, while the REC’s petition that supposedly triggered it was dated October 8, 2026, with case number CR/M/084/2026.
The statement further stated that the purveyors and harbinger of the fake news tried to trick the magistrate via exparte order but was rebuked
“The magistrate bluntly refused to grant their exparte and threatened to arrest them, yet they carried their falsehood about. What’s the problem of occupants of office that never won free and fair elections and tried to destroy reputable Imo sons that have won elections. We challenge anyone in this macabre surugede dance to show the court order or warrant of arrest. It’s preposterous to blackmail decent Imo sons on the altar of dirty politics.”
