Minister of Communications, Adebayo Shittu controlled APC Unity Forum in Oyo State has announced its decision to leave the All Progressives Congress (APC) for another party.
Mr. Wasiu Olawale Sadare, Public Relations Officer (PRO), of the faction revealed this via his Facebook page.
The two warring factions battling for the soul of the party are the one loyal to the state governor, Senator Abiola Ajimobi known as SENACO and the one loyal to the minister called Unity Forum.
The crisis rocking the APC in Oyo State has led to the factionalisation of the party which made the two groups to hold parallel local government congresses few weeks ago. The two factions later conducted parallel state congresses a week after the parallel local government congresses were held.
Mr. Wasiu Olawale Sadare in his Facebook post said; “Breaking: Unity Forum leaves Oyo APC… Destination to be announced in few days.”
