Osun state governnor and the candidate of the All Progressive Congress’ in the July 16 Osun Governiship Election, Mr Adegboyega Oyetola has appealed to members of the party to be united.
Governnor Oyetola made the appeal at a meeting with supporters and agrieved members of the party following the infighting and apportioning of blames by members and supporters of the party over the defeat the party suffered in the just concluded governorship election in the state.
Party leaders, chieftains, members and supporters have been at logger head over the outcome of the poll.
Some disatisfied members had blamed some notable chieftains of the party who are close to Governor Oyetola for causing the party defeat while others have been raining curses on those perceived to have worked against the success of the party.
The governnor who urged party faithful to desist from public display of annoyance charged APC members and supporters not to allow the outcome of the election to further cause division within the party, stresssing that the APC remained the ruling party in the state.
Addressing the party men and women at the Government House, Osogbo, Governnor Oyetola preached peace and unity at every stratum of the party.
He further advised party members who have grievances to channel them to the appropriate quarters and stop expressing them publicly, in the interest of the party.
As the incumbent state governor, governnor Oyetola stated that he would continue to govern with fear of God and love of the people, just as he reiterated his commitment to the well-being of the people and development of the state.
