Ife Oyedele Campaign Organisation Disputes Hope Newspaper Report, Claims Principal Misquoted

The attention of the Ife Oyedele Campaign Organisation has been drawn to the recently published report of The Hope Newspaper regarding the APC primary election in Ondo State, implying that aspirants, including Engr. Ifeoluwa Oyedele, have withdrawn their condemnation of the election's conduct and outcome. In a statement signed by Hon. Segun Olukoju for Engr. IfeOluwa Oyedele Campaign Organization, it said "We wish to clarify and rectify the misconceptions portrayed in the report."

"Firstly, it is essential to underscore that Engr. Ifeoluwa Oyedele and his Campaign Organisation, Ife Oyedele Campaign Organisation, maintain their firm stance in condemning the conduct of the APC primary election in Ondo State. Our position remains unchanged, and we categorically reject the outcome of the election."

"While The Hope Newspaper's report may have suggested otherwise, it is crucial to provide clarity on the statements attributed to Engr. Ifeoluwa Oyedele. The comments regarding not engaging in activities that would divide the party were taken out of context. We intended to emphasize the importance of party unity and adherence to democratic principles. However, this should not be misconstrued as acceptance of the flawed election process."

"Furthermore, the report failed to provide an accurate representation of the meeting between the aspirants and the National Chairman of the party. While appeals were made during the meeting, no conclusive decisions were reached, and reconciliation efforts are ongoing."

"We condemn any attempt to manipulate the narrative surrounding the primary election. Misleading reports only serve to hinder genuine reconciliation efforts and perpetuate discord within the party. It is imperative for the media to uphold journalistic integrity and present unbiased and factual information to the public."

"In conclusion, we urge the public and other media houses to disregard the contents of The Hope Newspaper's report regarding Engr. Ifeoluwa Oyedele's stance on the APC primary election. The statements attributed to our principal were taken out of context, and our condemnation of the election's conduct and outcome remains steadfast.'
