I have no disagreement with Oyetola — APC National Secretary Basiru

The National Secretary of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Ajibola Basiru, has warned those spreading false information about a frosty relationship between him and the former Osun State Governor Adegboyega Oyetola to desist from doing so.

Basiru who gave the warning while paying a visit to the Osun State chairman of the APC, Tajudeen Lawal, in Osogbo on Thursday revealed that he has a perfect relationship with Oyetola.

The APC National Secretary told the members of the party and the public at large to disregard the misinformation and falsehood about his relationship with the minister.

He also added that perpetrators of the information to go back to their drawing board as their current stratagem has failed without achieving its intention.

Basiru hinted that he was preoccupied with how to reinvigorate the party across the nation with a view to improving the fortune of the party that would translate into more victory for the party in more states of the federation.

He disclosed that he refused to write a rejoinder to the hogwash which alleged him to be at war with the ex-Governor Oyetola as he considered same as a product of beer parlour talks from habitual drunkards not worthy of being dignified with any response.

He also remarked that he was happy with the state of the party in the state which confirmed its improved fortune.

The National APC Secretary enjoined all the stakeholders of the party to key into the Renewed Hope Agenda of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu in his efforts to bail out the nation from the numerous challenges confronting it.

He explained that the economic downturn being experienced in Nigeria has its offshoot from the global phenomenon which is taking its toll on all the nations, stating that President Tinubu is confronting the challenges headlong.

Basiru urged the party leaders at all levels of the party to be steadfast in their loyalty to the party with an assurance that it is crystal clear that the APC would take over the reign of government in Osun State in the 2026 elections.

"I don't know where some hungry bloggers source their stories from. It is not true that there is acrimony between the Minister of Marine and Blue Economy and I. We are always on the same page.

"I was with him yesterday where I spent over two hours. In fact, he is aware of my trip to Osun State today. Where some bloggers came over a phoney story that I consulted an esteemed leader of our party yesterday in Iwo still remains a mystery when I was in Abuja.

"Was it my spirit that went to Iwo? Those who are writing compositions with the aim of causing acrimony in our party should go and find meaningful work to do instead of ranting", Basiru cautioned.

Earlier, the state chairman of the party appreciated the kind gesture of the APC National Secretary with his visit, stating that it would further entrench the faith of the members in the party.

Lawal tasked the chairmen of the party in the local government council areas and the state officers of the party to always work in unison in the interest of the party in their respective constituencies.
