Our strength as APC Oyo state is in our unity. Let’s protect it

Dear APC Family, Oyo State,

I write this with deep concern and with a clear heart.

I strongly condemn, in the strongest terms, the behavior of some party members who choose to use offensive, insulting, and careless language directly or indirectly against fellow aspirants in the name of supporting their preferred candidate.

Let me state clearly: there is no justification for this. This conduct does not help any candidate. Instead, it deepens the pain, widens the divisions, and damages the very party we claim to love.

I have written about this before, and I am reiterating it today. The most effective reconciliation begins with the candidates themselves, with humility, with a willingness to restitute, and without pride. Leadership must model the unity we expect from the base.

No two elections are the same. And the truth we must all accept is this: no faction within any party has the capacity to win an election alone. Not even with all the money in the world. We need one another. We win together, or we lose together.

Therefore, I am using this moment to warn all party members to refrain from reckless and insulting posts and comments that have the tendency to break us. APC belongs to all of us. No one has the right to drive another member away through hate speech or abuse.

If you must write, write sensibly. If you must speak, speak to unite. Let us debate issues, not attack personalities. Let us campaign with decorum, not with bitterness.

Our strength as APC in Oyo State is in our unity. Let us protect it.
