The Acting Chairman, Oyo state All progressive Congress APC, Chief Akin Oke has called on the chairman and members of the special finance and budget committee of Oyo state APC to come up with right and relevant financial model and formula to ease the burden of form purchase for all intending executives of the party from wards to local governments ahead of the forthcoming congress.
He made the call during the stakeholders meeting earlier held today at his Oluyole residence with the committee chairman, Hon. Dokun Odebunmi Bunvic in attendance.
He reiterated the need for the committee to harp into action immediately to avoid a situation where eligible and competent hands are technically disenfranchised from party offices for lack of money required for form purchase.
Bunvic in his short response assured the party chairman that the committee would respond in due course and already working to ensure no eligible hopeful for party position in Oyo state is disqualified on account of finance. He insisted the committee will meet as soon as practicable to present a formal financial position to the party.
It will be recalled that Oyo state APC had in February this year set up a number of committees including the finance and budget committee ahead of the party membership and revalidation exercise.
The committee was headed by the federal lawmaker representing Ogo-Oluwa /Surulere Federal constituency. Other members of the committee include Professor Adeolu Akande, Mr. Zacchaeus Adelabu, Hon. Bimbo Kolade, Hon. Tolulope Sadipe, Hon. Wumi Oladeji. Barrister ‘Lowo Obisesan was announced as secretary.
The scope of assignment of the committee has now been extended to cover fund raising from all party stakeholders ahead of the forthcoming congress.
