WE
ARE NOT CALLING FOR NEW MEMBERS, BEWARE OF PEOPLE USING GOVERNOR OYETOLA’S NAME
TO DUPE POLITICAL PARTIES – ACPP CRIES OUT
The Alliance of
Collaborating Political Parties (ACPP) led by Alh. Rafiu Anifowose has appealed
to all the Chairmen of registered political parties in the state of Osun to
disregard a recent call made by some individuals calling for new members into
the Alliance. ACPP described the action as illegal, unconstitutional and
criminal offence knowing fully well that the only legit and duly recognized by
the law of the state is that of the one led by Alh. Rafiu Anifowose who have
the legal right to do so by law.
According to Alh. Rafiu
Anifowose of the Green Party of Nigeria (GPN) “The Alliance of Collaborating
Political Parties under my leadership was registered on the 14th
February, 2019 under the State of Osun Enterprises Identification Edict 1999
with 12 Political Parties namely; Green Party of Nigeria (GPN), New Nigeria
Peoples Party (NNPP), Hope Democratic Party (HDP), Better Nigeria Progressive
Party (BNPP), Mass Alliance Joint Action (MAJA), Justice Must Prevail Party
(JMPP), Change Advocacy Party (CAP), People for Democratic Change
(PDC),Coalition for Change (C4C), Progressive Peoples Alliance (PPA), Action
Alliance (AA) and Peoples Coalition Party (PCP) as foundation members.”
“The Alliance of
Collaborating Political Parties was also registered with a 10-Page
members-oriented constitution which was signed by all the political parties
involved”.
“Chairmen of registered
political parties in Osun are learned and educated people. They know the
difference between running a legal association and an illegal association. They
should ask Masilo who is calling himself ACPP Chairman to produce ACPP’s
Certificate of Registration and ACPP’s Constitution. Masilo and his group don’t
have it. Governor Oyetola can never involve himself in any illegal and unlawful
practice. He is our Governor, he recognizes us. They are lying that they have
support and endorsement from the government. If truly they have it, people
should ask for evidence of their claim, may be To Whom It May Concern or letter
of recommendation written and signed by the governor himself. They don’t have
all these things and they can’t show them”.
Registered political
parties should be aware of Masilo’s use and dump strategy as IPAC election is
coming. Currently, Masilo has only 5 political parties in his camp, looking for
more political parties to convince the governor he could win the forthcoming
IPAC State Election for him. Masilo’s aim is to use Gbenga Afeni as Chairman of
IPAC with tricks of giving all other IPAC positions to pro PDP political
parties in order to give him their support. He fully knows that those of us pro
APC political parties who worked for the emergence of Governor Gboyega Oyetola
will never join forces with him to achieve his selfish intention. The only
trick for him now is to call for new members. It’s a trap and people should run
away from it”
“Our call for new membership will be announced
and published alongside the names of our screening committee members setup to
handle the process.”
ACCP finally urged all Chairmen
of registered political parties in the state of Osun to be very vigilant and
careful in joining unlawful association and desist from associating themselves
with impersonators.
