The APC campaign train, in its nascent stage, finds itself embroiled in a political maelstrom as internal factions clash, raising concerns of escalating discord.
The rift, fueled by the exclusion of Pastor Osagie Ize-Iyamu from a prominent role despite his prior pivotal contributions, threatens to derail the party’s upcoming election campaign.
Truth Live News gathered from reliable sources that a simmering conflict between two major factions, warning of potential uncontrollable escalation if swift measures aren’t implemented to quell the turmoil. The exclusion of Ize-Iyamu, once a linchpin figure, has exacerbated tensions within the party’s ranks.
Central to the discord is Senator Monday Okpebholo’s newfound allegiance to former Governor Adams Oshiomhole, a shift that has reverberated through party dynamics. Okpebholo’s alignment with Oshiomhole has catalyzed the factional crisis, with diverging loyalties fracturing party unity.
Despite Ize-Iyamu’s vocal protests and threats of withdrawal from party support, the gubernatorial candidate and Oshiomhole’s faction remain resolute in their course of action. Citing concerns over Ize-Iyamu’s past electoral performance and alleged mismanagement of party resources, the faction is determined to forge ahead without him at the helm.
