With about five weeks to the general elections, All Progressives Congress (APC), Oyo State is going into the polls with a seriously diminished and depleted electoral strength. This is a fall out of the crisis that has dogged the party since the congress that produced the party’s candidates for the different positions; from the House of Assembly, House of Representatives, Senatorial to governorship flag bearer.
The congress left many of the hard-core progressives and party faithful are disenchanted due to their perception of the manner the congresses were conducted. Aggrieved members of the party crossed over to other , the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and Accord Party (AP). For those who decided to stay back, it was a “siddon” look with a lukewarm attitude to the fortunes of the party in the forthcoming gubernatorial elections.
