Oyo APC stakeholders hail peaceful congresses, seek zoning review

Stakeholders of the All Progressives Congress in Oyo State praised the recent peaceful conduct of party congresses and expressed a desire for a review of national zoning arrangements.

Stakeholders from six local government areas in Oyo State expressed their satisfaction with the peaceful conduct of the All Progressives Congress (APC) ward, local government, and state congresses. This commendation comes after previous tensions surrounding past congresses in 2018 and 2022, which had led to controversies within the party. The meeting took place at the party’s secretariat in Ibadan, where stakeholders voiced their appreciation for the leadership's efforts in ensuring order during the congresses.

During their quarterly meeting, the stakeholders also highlighted the importance of reviewing the party’s zoning arrangements at the national level. They noted that such a review could be essential for enhancing political inclusivity and addressing any grievances that may have arisen regarding party representation. The communiqué, indicating a shift in the party's internal dynamics, was signed by prominent leaders within the party, emphasizing their commitment to united and peaceful governance.

This development reflects an increasing desire among APC stakeholders in Oyo to foster cooperation and avoid the conflicts that have previously marred their internal processes. The positive feedback from the congresses could strengthen the party's standing in the state as it prepares for future elections, while the call for zoning review indicates an awareness of the need for strategic adjustments to encourage broader support within the party ranks.
