Chairman of the Action Alliance in Osun State, Hon. Bunmi Adetunji has debunked report in some sections of the media that the Party is moving to a new secretariat.
Adetunji described the alleged constitution of a caretaker committee by a former National Chairman of the party, Mr Adekunle Rufai Omoaje a beer parlour discussion which is only aimed at causing confusion within the Party.
Adetunji said, “The attention of the leadership of the Action Alliance in Osun State has been drawn to alleged relocation of our Party Secretariat to the secretariat of Social Democratic Party and unguarded utterances by some individuals during their gathering today.”
The State Chairman of Action Alliance said a court of appeal has sacked Omoaje, describing what happened on Wednesday in Osogbo as a contempt of the court.
“It’s highly embarrassing that some individuals who have been sacked by the Court of Appeal can gather and connive with rejected politicians from SDP to want to misinform members of our party in Osun State.
“What’s more embarrassing is that a former National Chairman of our Party, who is expected to know the dictates of our constitution, is leading this shameful display and macabre dance in the market. Are you equating that beer parlour discussion to a Congress?
“For the sake of our members and general public, Hon. Adekunle Rufai Omoaje has been removed as the National Chairman of Action Alliance by the Court of Appeal since January this year and it’s disheartening that he is engaging in contempt of the court by parading himself as the National Chairman.
“The Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, has also stopped recognizing him as Barr. Kenneth Udeze is the only Chairman of Action Alliance. The defeated Chairman is only trying to create a faction and pain a false picture using Osun as his starting point but it’s obvious that our members are wiser than him and his co-travellers.”
Adetunji called on members of the Party to disregard the information, declaring that he remains the Chairman of AA in Osun.
“I make bold to say that I remain the Chairman of the Action Alliance in Osun State under the national chairmanship Barr. Udeze. Anybody saying otherwise is only daydreaming. Our Secretary remains the only place we know.
“Finally to some individuals who have chosen to abandon their duties posts for this shameful act, their matters will be treated at the appropriate time.”
