ONDO APC ASSEMBLY CANDIDATE IN 2023 ELECTIONS, GBOGI EMMANUEL PLEADS FOR SUSPENDED MEMBERS
The candidate of All Progressives Congress (APC) in the just concluded general elections into Akoko Southwest, House of Assembly Constituency 1, Honorable Gbogi Emmanuel has appealed to the leadership of the party in the state to reconsider the suspended members of the party in the interest of peace.
In an open letter addressed to the State Chairman, Engineer Ade Adetimehin dated
10th May, 2023 and personally signed by Honourable Gbogi Emmanuel, titled “Time for Unification” and made available to newsmen, avered that the party will emerge stronger and more united from this experience if the suspended members are pardoned. .
In his words “I Gbogi Emmanuel, the APC candidate in the March 18th, 2023 State House of Assembly election in Akoko South West Local Government Constituency 1 Oka-Akoko, write to implore you to trigger and emplace reconciliation mechanisms that will bring about lasting peace and love in our constituency and Akoko South West Local Government in general.”
He said that there was no gainsaying the fact that “As you are aware, I lost the election, and there are allegations of conspiracy against me from some members of the party in Oke Oka because I am from Iwaro-Oka. Even the revered traditional stool and custodian of our valued culture was fingered and mentioned in this grand conspiracy. This was contained in a report and letter written to you by the Chairman of the party in our local government Mr. Mise, which is now in the public domain. I also got to know on social media and The Punch one of the mist widely read newspaper that the party has taken disciplinary action against some of these members who participated in anti-party activities that led to my loss in the election”
“While I appreciate the party’s effort to maintain discipline and order within the party, I urge you to temper justice with mercy. I implore you to seek alternative ways of ensuring unity in the party. This becomes indispensably imperative, as the local government and governorship elections are just a matter of months away.
As a progressive to the core , the principal and immediate victim in the said conspiracy, I have had the cause to move on. And I wish the party to do same. I believe that the party must come together to build a virile, more united, and impregnable structure in Ondo State. This can only be achieved if we put aside our differences and work together for the good of the party.
