ABEOKUTA—A leading  member of the All ProgressiveS Congress, APC, loyal to the former governor  of Ogun State Aremo Segun Osoba, and a member of the House of Representatives,  Prince Adekunle Adeyemi,  yesterday said APC in the state had lost three legs out four,  saying “it is walking on one leg.”

Adeyemi, who represents Ifo/Ewekoro Federal Constituency, at a social gathering held in honour of Aremu Osoba, to mark his 75th birthday celebration, insisted that APC was now a one legged party that was not stable.

Hundreds of loyalists  of  former governor  Osoba had thronged his Abeokuta residence, where they organized a birthday party in his honour.

The supporters drawn from all the 20 local government areas of the state besieged the palatial building of Aremo Osoba at G R A, Ibara, Abeokuta.

The Deputy Governor of the state, Prince Segun Adesegun, and the state Chairman of APC loyal to Osoba, Chief Olu  Agemo were among the prominent people that attended the birthday party.
Aremo Osoba who was absent at the party held for him in Abeokuta was reported to have refused to hold any party on his birthday.

Speaking about the significance of  the celebration,  Adeyemi said  the celebrant deserved to be honoured by his numerous beneficiaries for positively impacting on the  lives of so many people in the state and beyond.

The lawmaker, who spoke on behalf of all the members of the National Assembly, however, denied report that the group had left the APC, saying, many stakeholders had been talking to them for alliance.

On why the group was fighting the other group,  Adeyemi said “ I can tell you that Osoba group is protesting about the injustice  going on in the APC  and that we are not happy about”.

While speaking on where the group belongs,  Adeyemi  said  “everybody is entitled to his opinion but, I can tell you  the APC has lost three legs out four. It is walking on one leg,  the party is one legged party. So, it is not stable”.
