The stakeholder meeting was held ahead of the APC congress which has been fixed to hold tomorrow
Conflicting report about the attack flooded the social media, while some claims that a federal lawamaker and some notable politician led thugs to distrupt the meeting
The party in a statement by its Secretary, Mr. Mojeed Olaoya said that the about 150 armed miscreants were allegedly led by the Minister of Communication, Barr Adebayo Shittu who later came in to join the stakeholders’ meeting and a member of the House of Representative, saying that the APC was not deterred by this skirmish as the ward congress is going on with a pre stakeholders’ meeting.
Mr. Olaoya said that the 7-man Congress Committee led by Alhaji Musa Halilu is meeting elected members of the party including Governor Abiola Ajimobi, the Minister from the state, Alhaji Adebayo Shittu, members of the National Assembly including Senator Sumonu and State House of Assembly, some party chairmen, party leaders across Ibadan and the APC executives to allay their fears over the attack, noting that other stakeholders who did not make the meeting are presently at their ward congress venue.
He said that the party will continue to ensure peace reigns in the state, explaining that dissidents are always expected in political circuits and their nuisance value are inevitable.
A party chieftain who spoke with our reporter under the condition of anonymity said the allegation leveled against the minister is total falsehood and unfair
‘We witnessed everything, the situation changes when some party leader realized that imposition of delegates will not work as they have planned, the Minister did not led any thug to the event.
It was also gathered that the minister , Senator Monsurat Sumonu , Hon Dapo Lam Adesina and other some party leaders went to Eleyele Police station to report the incident.
