Hoodlums Disrupt APC Membership Registration In Oyo

A popular leader of the Oyo State Park Management has been alleged to have led hoodlums to Ward 12, Polling Units 5 and 6 at the Aliiwo area of Ibadan where the ongoing membership revalidation/registration exercise of the All Progressives Congress was disrupted.

It was gathered that the alleged invasion of the polling units by the union leader caused a commotion that led to the temporary stop of the exercise on Tuesday.

The Publicity Secretary of the APC in the state, Dr Abdulazeez Olatunde confirmed the incident.

He said such an act of hooliganism should be expected when the governance of the state had allegedly been taken over by “persons hobnobbing publicly with certified hoodlums”.

Olatunde stated, ”It is a sad development that such is happening in a state like Oyo State. Our registration exercise was disrupted. He led hoodlums to distrust the exercise and one begin to wonder if there is any correlation between our exercise and park management system.

“What happened is a reflection of what is happening in the state. Nobody is safe, hoodlums have taken over everywhere. Security has collapsed  and everything is turned upside down.”

On the other hand, the Publicity Secretary of the Peoples Democratic Party in the state, Mr Akeem Olatunji, exonerated the ruling party from the disruption of the APC registration exercise.

He said the APC should look inward to find those responsible for the disruption rather than blaming the government and the ruling party for it.
