Osun 2022: ACPP Accuses IPAC of Being Bias Against PDP and Demola Adeleke

 OSUN 2022: ACPP ACCUSES IPAC OF BEING BIAS AGAINST PDP AND DEMOLA ADELEKE

The Alliance of Collaborating Political Parties (ACPP) which consists of Osun based political groups and parties has alleged that the recent activities of the Osun state chapter of the Interparty Advisory Council (IPAC) under the leadership of one Mr. Wale Adebayo were against Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and its candidate in the forthcoming poll, Demola Adeleke which were designed to cause mayhem in IPAC and to scuttle democracy in the state. 

 

ACPP under the leadership of Wole Adedoyin made the allegation on Tuesday after the Council recently went to the press with two screaming headlines, “IPAC Lampoons Adeleke over alleged plans to influence outcome of governorship poll” and “IPAC tackles PDP over alleged plan to rig Osun Polls”

 

ACPP described as false the Council’s allegation that PDP and its governorship candidate, Demola Adeleke wants to influence the outcome of governorship polls and have no plan to rig any election.

 

ACPP further alleged that IPAC in Osun State under the leadership of Mr. Wale Adebayo flouted the IPAC Code of Conduct by coming out publicly condemning one party for another party who are both members of the same council saying there was no balance, justice or fairness and it was glaring. 

 

Parts of the release read: "The major function of IPAC is to work assiduously with INEC to strengthen the capacity of political parties through voter education, sensitisation of members and the general public, to completely minimise inconclusive elections and promote level playing ground for all political parties."

 

"IPAC is not INEC’s Spokesperson. Turning IPAC into a political tool against PDP and its candidate will only bring condemnation and destruction to the Council. The duo of Osun IPAC Chairman and Secretary should let the Stakeholders know if IPAC is now an appendage of the APC Government. PDP and APC are both staunch members of IPAC. The Chairman and Secretary of Osun IPAC should have published the releases under the platforms of their respective political parties. There is need for them to be reschooled on the aim and objectives of IPAC. Their actions are against IPAC’s Code of Conduct. IPAC is a neutral body. 

 

ACPP finally urged the good people of Osun State to disregard allegations by the Council against the People's Democratic Party (PDP) and it's candidate, Demola Adeleke, describing them as propaganda.

 

Osun: ACPP Berates YPP Governorship Candidate, Condemns Court Case Against PDP and Demola Adeleke

 

OSUN: ACPP BERATES YPP GOVERNORSHIP CANDIDATE, CONDEMNS COURT CASE AGAINST PDP AND DEMOLA ADELEKE

 

The Alliance of Collaborating Political Parties (ACPP) under the leadership of Mr. Wole Adedoyin has restated her commitment and support for transparency, equity and justice in the forthcoming Osun Governorship election and also condemned a court case (click on this link to download the case)  https://bit.ly/37iWcXr  allegedly instituted by the governorship candidate of the Young Progressive Party, one Dr. Ademola Bayonle Adeseye against the candidate of the People Democratic Party (PDP), Senator Demola Adeleke.

 

Condemning the court case, which he described as spurious, Adedoyin asked those behind the court action to withdraw their case immediately “if they are within YPP and not agents of APC (All Progressives Congress).

 

Parts of the Statement read, “YPP is a good party with brilliant and intellectual democrats.  The party also has one of the best programmes in the country. Currently under the national leadership of Comrade Emmanuel Bishop Amakiri as National Chairman. The party is one of the registered political parties to watch out for in the 2023 General Elections. In its manifesto, the party called for concerted efforts to improve welfare, fight for social justice and provide equality of opportunities for all citizens in Nigeria. The Young Progressive Party won one seat out of the 109 seats in the Nigerian Senate during the 2019 general elections.”

 

“People like Dr. Ademola Bayonle Adeseye are the ones drawing the party backward. He is an agent of the All Progressive Congress (APC)." 

 

"What concerns the Young Progressive Party (YPP) with the internal affairs of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and her candidate (Senator Demola Adeleke)."

 

"He is not sincere about his cause to liberate the good people of Osun State. Osun State Electorates should not take him and his party serious. While other governorship candidates are on the streets campaigning, Dr. Ademola Bayonle Adeseye is running errands for some Anti-PDP and Demola Adeleke elements.”

 

ACPP finally called on the National Leadership of the Young Progressive Party (YPP) to come out publicly to dissociate their party and candidate from and condemn the case.

OSUN GUBER: APGA PREPARES TO OUST GBOYEGA OYETOLA

 

Gbadebo Adekunle has emerged the governorship candidate of the All Progressive Grand Alliance (APGA) for the July 16, 2022 governorship election.

 

APGA’s Governorship Primary was conducted at the State Party Secretariat in Osogbo on Tuesday and was monitored by the two representatives of INEC from their National Headquarters.

 

Adekunle’s candidature was ratified in the presence of Osun INEC representatives and party delegates after emerging as the sole candidate of the party’s primary election.

 

The returning officer, while announcing the result, thanked all the delegates and observers for playing according to the rules towards ensuring the peaceful primary election.

 

After announcing him the winner of the primary election, Gbadebo Adekunle promised that APGA under the state, zonal and national leadership of Pastor Olatunji Popoola, Deacon Samson Segun Olalere and Victor Oye would spring surprise against the political permutation of the All Progressive Congress (APC) and the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) at the July 16 governorship poll.

 

According to him, “APGA is a true party of the progressives with masses oriented manifesto and programmes. Anambra is a case study and a good example of masses oriented democracy and good governance. APGA has controlled Anambra State since 2006 and also for a few years controlled Imo. There are lots of developments, huge infrastructures and grassroots projects to show as evidence.”

 

“We will not abandon Osun State to pretenders and looters who coined themselves progressives but our government, if elected into power will ensure that every Osun Citizen enjoys the God-given resources of the state and be thankful for His blessings,” Gbadebo Adekunle told the party’s delegates.
