Former Interim National Chairman of the ruling All Progressives
Congress, APC, Chief Bisi Akande, has stated that the conduct of
parallel congresses will definitely affect the party’s fortunes in the
2019 general elections.
Akande said this in Ilorin, Kwara State, after the launch of a
640-page autobiography of a former leader of the Kwara State House of
Assembly, Chief Wole Oke, entitled “Omopeninun: The Myth, The Reality.”
Asked about the fractionalization of the party arising from the
congresses, Akande said, “I think the National Executive Committee of
the party is going to sort it out depending on the circumstances of each
state.
“It ought not to have happened. Now that it has happened, it is the
duty of the national executive council to look at it and say this one is
genuine or the other one is parallel congress.”
When prodded on the possible effects of the development on the
fortunes of APC at the 2019 polls, he added, “The crisis will definitely
affect the fortune of any party. But it is the duty of the party that
it controls it.”
