Ayobami Ife, Abeokuta

Caretaker Committee of the Ogun State chapter of the All Progressives Congress(APC)  has revealed that it would stay focused on its core mandate to unite the party and mobilise  members in the state to work towards electoral victory come 2019.

The Committee added  that it was also duly constituted by the National Working Committee(NWC) vested with the power to bring it into existence, stressing that members would not join issue with anybody, including Governor Ibikunle Amosun.

The newly appointed Publicity Secretary of the Caretaker Committee, Mr. Tunde Oladunjoye, disclosed this in a statement on Saturday evening in response to requests by the media to react to Governor Amosun's comments earlier about the Committee.

Amosun had while waiting to receive a letter from the Allied People's Movement (APM) endorsing President Muhammadu Buhari  as its Presidential candidate, told his loyalists at the party Secretariat on Abiola Way, Abeokuta, the state capital, that the elected executives led by Chief Derin Adebiyi would serve its full four years term, declaring also that he only fears God and President Muhqmmadu Buhari.

But the Committee reacting through Oladunjoye, noted that all members of APC in Ogun state are one members of the same house and under the leadership of President Muhammadu Buhari, emphasising  that the Committee would renew, realign, and rebuild the party for total victory at the 2019 polls.

"There is only one party according to the electoral law and in line with the party constitution, that party, is the national headquarters of any political party.

"Our Committee was set up by the  APC National Working  Committee (NWC), an organ of the Party vested with the constitutional power to do so.  

"We are not going to join issues with anyone, including the governor, but to breath new life into the party, promote peace and cohesion and renew the hope of our members in all the nooks and crannies of Ogun State, while being on the same page with the national body.

"Our mandate is to bring everybody together and  reenergize their commitment  to the party and it's electoral victory at all levels.  We will be fair and equitable to all.

"We are all members of the same house under the leadership of President Muhammadu Buhari, we will renew, realign, and rebuild our party for total victory at the 2019 polls,by God's grace," Oladunjoye stated.
