Hoodlums disrupt APC membership registration in Oyo state

A popular leader of the Oyo state Park Management has been alleged to have led a horde of hoodlums to Ward 12, Polling Units 5 and 6 at the Aliiwo area of Ibadan where the ongoing membership revalidation/registration exercise of the All Progressives Congress was disrupted.

Our correspondent gathered that the alleged invasion of the polling units by the union leader caused a commotion that led to the temporary stoppage of the exercise on Tuesday.

The Publicity Secretary of the APC in the state, Dr Abdulazeez Olatunde, when contacted by our correspondent on Wednesday confirmed the incident.

He said such an act of hooliganism should be expected when the governance of the state had allegedly been taken over by “persons hobnobbing publicly with certified hoodlums”.

Olatunde said, "It is a sad development that such is happening in a state like Oyo State. Our registration exercise was disrupted. He led hoodlums to distrust the exercise and one begin to wonder if there is any correlation between our exercise and park management system.

“But such should be expected when the seat of government is taken over by persons who publicly hobnob with certified hoodlums. The seat that mercurial Chief Obafemi Awolowo, Chief Bola Ige, Lam Adesina, and Senator Abiola Ajimobi occupied."
