A youth group in the Ogun State chapter of the All Progressives Congress, the APC Progressive Youths, has called on all government appointees who have defected to the Allied Peoples Movement to immediately resign their appointments.
The group, in a statement on Wednesday by its Chairman, Damilare Fagbohun, said it was “disgustingly treacherous, fraudulent and horrendous for people appointed into privileged positions on the basis of being members of the APC to, without blinking, cross to another party and still hope to retain their positions in the APC administration.”
Fagbohun described the action of the appointees as a “shameful act of indiscipline and disloyalty to the party who appointed them out of thousands of others who are more qualified.”
The statement added, “It has become pertinent to call on commissioners, special advisers, chairmen of statutory commissions and other state government appointees, whose names have appeared either as members of the governorship campaign of the APM, its officers or candidates, to resign forthwith.
“Though we are aware that these appointees were coerced by the governor in his desperation to achieve his moribund bid to force a successor on the good people of Ogun, we urge the appointees to save whatever is left of their honour and family names by resigning their current appointments which they got on the platter of being APC members and as beneficiaries of APC electoral victory of 2015.”
