Any APC parallel congress is exercise in futility- Ogun C'mttee Chairman, Wale Ohu

The Ogun state All Progressives Congress (APC) Local Government Congress Committee led by Chief Wale Ohu on Friday issued a stern warning against members planning to conduct parallel congress in the state.

The committee declared that, any congress conducted aside from the one by the Yemi Sanusi-led state Exco of the party is null and void.

Ohu, the Chairman of the five-member committee issued the warning when members of the committee met with the electoral committee members saddled with the responsibility of conducting the congress across the 20 local government areas of the state.

The APC chieftain also warned those engaging in anti-party activities to desist, declaring that the party will not hesitate to sanction anyone found culpable of the act.

"The national leadership of the party frowns seriously against members who are committing anti-party activities for now. We have been sent from Abuja to strictly work according to the guidelines of the party and to strictly work according to the list of the executive members at the ward levels given to us from Abuja.

He said, the committee was strictly sent from the national Secretariat of the party to conduct the congress

Ohu insisted that, the party will not accept the result of any congress conducted aside from the one done by the recognised state party secretariat. 

"This is the only list approved by the national secretariat, anything aside from this is null and void.

"The party frowns seriously at anybody conducting parallel congress and we will not accept any congress conducted other than the one done by the recognised state party secretariat."
