Osun LG bosses deny rumour of dumping APC

THE Forum of Executive Secretaries in Osun State has denied the rumour that its members are planning to dump the All Progressives Congress (APC) for an opposition party ahead of the August 9, 2014, governorship election. Addressing a press conference in Osogbo, the state capital, the Chairman of the forum, Prince Olusoji Ajayi, said it was unreasonable and unthinkable that they would abandon a performing party, whose governor, Ogbeni Rauf Aregbesola, has achieved so much for the state in the last three years. The chairman said the APC was ready for the election and has no reason to be afraid of contesting the poll because its popularity rating remains high as a result of the outstanding performance of Governor Rauf Aregbesola and his team. Ajayi condemned the opposition for instigating the ‘tiny population’ in the state to attack the education reform of the Aregbesola administration, saying “we are close to the grassroots because we among the people and we have ears and eyes among them. We know their feelings and reaction to any government policy.”
