All Progressives Congress (APC), governorship aspirant during the 2019 general elections, Mogaji Joseph Olasunkanmi Tegbe, has joined leaders and stakeholders in the APC at a victory party held to celebrate the success of the party at the Supreme Court in a case filed over the unlawful removal of elected Chairmen and Councillors by the Oyo State Governor.
Speaking at the occasion, Tegbe congratulated members of the forum on the victory won at the Supreme Court while urging them to be at the forefront of reconciliation within the party at the grass-root level.
He asserted that only a united party can win as he emphasised the importance of the local governments being the closest to the people at the grass-root.
It will be recalled that ZLP, under the leadership of Ladoja, led a coalition of ZLP, PDP, Social Democratic Party (SDP), African Democratic Congress (ADC), and a faction of Alliance for Democracy (AD) that produced the incumbent governor of the state, Engr. Seyi Makinde.
Daily Trust reports that the 2019 governorship candidate of ZLP, Sharafadeen Alli, led a team of loyalists of Ladoja to the merger meeting while the acting chairman of the APC, Chief Akin Oke, led the APC team.
The team comprised the Chairman, Senate Committee on Local Contents, Teslim Folarin, representing Oyo Central senatorial district; two serving members of the House of Representatives, Segun Odebunmi, representing Ogo-Oluwa/Surulere Federal Constituency and Akeem Adeyemi, representing Oyo federal constituency.
