The Osun State chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC) has asked the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to leave it out of the crises rocking the main opposition party, describing their situation as irredeemable.
The call was contained in a statement by the spokesperson of the ruling party in Osun, Comrade Wole Adunola and made available to DAILY POST on Tuesday.
According to the APC spokesperson, the call was made in response to the allegation levelled against the party by the factional chairman of the PDP, Soji Adagunodo, in one of the national dailies last week, where the factional chairman alleged that the APC was responsible for the crisis in the party.

Omisore was a stalwart of the Alliance for Democracy (AD) where he aspired to be governor of the state in 1999, but failed to get the party’s ticket.
Chief Bisi Akande won the party’s governorship ticket with Omisore becoming his running mate. Consequently, AD won the election and after their swearing in, Akande and Omisore had a frosty relationship leading to an attempt to impeach Akande. The impeachment plot against the governor failed and later, Omisore left AD for the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
There were several intrigues and controversies that time and the political environment was tensed.
One of the controversies was the assassination of a key AD chieftain, the former Attorney-General and Minister for Justice, Chief Bola Ige on December 23, 2001.
