I REMAIN ONLY AUTHENTIC AA NATIONAL CHAIRMAN – OMOAJE

FAULTS PURPORTED PARALLEL CONVENTION

National chairman of the Action Alliance (AA), Hon Adekunle Rufai Omoaje has taken a swipe at a former member of the party, Mr Kenneth Udeze over claim that he has been elected National chairman of the party.

Describing Udeze as an impersonator, whose stock in trade are lies and deciets, Omoaje declared that he remains the only authentic and recognized national chairman of the party.

Omoaje, who was recently reelected as National chairman of the party at the party’s national convention held in Osogbo, Osun State capital under the supervision of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), said Udeze couldn’t have contested for the post or any other position in the party, having being expelled from the party.

In a statement made available to newsmen in Osogbo, the Osun State capital on Sunday, the AA boss said “the National Think Thank Committee (NTTC) of the Action Alliance had long before now expelled Udeze and his cohorts for anti party activities. His expulsion was in line with the constitution of the party and this has not been lifted by the party or any Court of law.

“The NTTC is the highest decision ruling organ of our party and at no time did NTTC meet to lift the expulsion of Udeze. He is not a member of the party let alone being an official. His purported election is without photo, vedio or INEC representative.

“This same Udeze has serious criminal case in different courts. He’s currently standing trial before an Osun State High Court sitting in Osogbo over allegations of criminal acts,” he added.

Omoaje denied knowledge of any national convention held in Abuja or any other part of the country, saying such gathering was without the knowledge of the party.

“Udenze and his co-travellers should learn how to respect the party’s constitution and also abide by the rules governing events within the party. He’s fighting the battle of his life which he can’t win,” he added.

He threatened to institute legal action against Udeze for alleged impersonation, saying that the leadership of the party will also meet to determine further steps to be taken.

He said the purported convention held at the instance of Udeze was null and void as it lacked the backing of the party’s recognized leadership and not supervised by INEC, which is the accredited organ saddled with such responsibility.

He therefore called on members of the public, especially political groups to disregard Udeze or any action taken by him.

OSUN : CNPP CALLS FOR CANCELLATION OF IPAC ELECTION

The Conference of Nigerian Political Parties (CNPP) in Osun State has called for the cancellation of the Thursday’s election of the state chapter of Inter Party Advisory Council (IPAC), describing the election as a charade.

The state chapter of the CNPP which comprises of major political parties including the All Progressives Congress (APC), Action Alliance (AA), Accord Party (AP), Labour Party (LP) and Social Democratic Party (SDP) among others raised the alarm over alleged irregularities that surrounded the IPAC election.

The State chairman of CNPP, Comrade Abiodun Afolabi while speaking during his swearing in ceremony held in Osogbo, alleged that the IPAC election was flawed by illegalities and manipulations, adding that the process that produced the new executives of the organization negate the constitution of its constitution.

According to him, members of his political party and other parties that belong to the CNPP were not adequately informed about the election until few hours to its conduct.

Also, he complained about the manner at which the election was conducted, saying that instead of two persons supervising the election from the national secretariat of the organization, only one person supervised it.

He said “the National Chairman of AA, Hon Rufai Adekunle Omoaje and the National Publicity Secretary of IPAC, Mr Agbor Major were to supervise the election, but to our suprise only Major conducted the election in a tense atmosphere.

“We were reliably informed that Hon Omoaje who resides in Abuja was not aware of the election untill the exercise started. This is against the standing order of the organization.

“The election was postponed on two occasions because of their plan to manipulate the process. Hon. Omoaje had come to Osun State on two occasions for the conduct of the exercise but the election was postponed. When it was time to conduct the election they failed to carry him along because of their hachet plan,”

He identified other irregularities that surrounded the election to include lack of respect for the organization’s constitution and improper identification of delegates who participated in the exercise.

He therefore called for the cancellation of the election and called for a fresh one, where all parties will be carried along and the constitution of the organization will be duly followed.

Meanwhile, a new set of executives have been elected to pilot the affairs of the state chapter of the CNPP.

At an election held on Thursday in Osogbo, the state capital, Mr Abiodun Afolabi of the Peoples Redemption Party (PRP) emerged the chairman, while Pastor Victor Akande of the Accord Party emerged the Deputy Chairman.

Others are Mr Bunmi Adetunji of the Action Alliance (AA) who emerged the secretary, Richard Oyerinde of the Labour Party (LP) emerged the treasurer, Chief Sola Oladehinde of the Social Democratic Party (SDP) emerged the Financial Secretary and Nurudeen Bello emerged as the Organising Secretary.

BOG CHAIRMAN, ADEMOLA LAWAL SEEKS SUPPORT FOR ANSARU-DEEN SOCIETY GRAMMAR SCHOOL, ILE-IFE

The Chairman, Board of Governors, Ansaru-Deen Society Grammar School, Ile-Ife, Alhaji Ademola Lawal has solicitated for moral and financial support to make the school a pride amongst its contemporaries.

Alhaji Lawal stated this in an exclusive chat with Nigerian Platform in Osogbo on Saturday while exchanging views on the state of Public Secondary Grammar Schools in Osun State.

The Governor of Osun State, Alhaji Gboyega Oyetola has approved the composition of the Board of Governors of the school in December 31, 2020 and he has resumed office since January 4, 2021.

While speaking, the board Chairman lamented the spate of dilapidated buildings and other infrastructures in the school and sought to improve on them to further make it more conducive for learning.

He also called on the parents, alumni and other well-meaning individuals to join hands in raising the structural and learning standard of the students.

According to the Chairman, Alhaji Lawal said “Ansaru-Deen Society Grammar School is the only Muslim Secondary School in Ile-Ife, so the welfare and standard of the school must be prioritized in terms of infrastructures and other essential materials to aid conducive atmosphere and efficient learning for our children”.

“That is the reason why we are calling on all well-meaning individuals to join hand with us to guarantee a better future for our children” he said.

The Chairman also called on Ife Ooye Local Council Development Area to quickly look into actions of some people in the neighbouring buildings who are fond of throwing faeces into the school premises from the fence. According to him, such acts may result in Cholera and other epidemic for the innocent students.

Alhaji Lawal also raised concerns about records of some miscreants who usually jump over the fence into the school to smoke Indian Hemp and other unlawful activities.

Alhaji Lawal maintained that posterity will not forget useful contributions of all the people to safeguard the future of the students as any culprit caught shall be made to face the full wrath of law

“This is our al-mamata, we cannot fold our arms while the students of the school or the school itself are lagging behind in terms of standard, security and needed infrastructures*, he said.
