Crisis in Ogun State chapter of the All Progressives Congress appears to be worsening as a faction of the party loyal to Senator Ibikunle Amosun, ignored the APC State Congress Appeal Committee instituted in the state by the party.

The party had set up the committee to settle the aggrieved members of the party on the recently conducted state congress in the state.

But the Chairman of the appeal panel, Patrick Obahiagbon, announced to reporters that the committee, which held public sittings on Tuesday and Wednesday, did not receive any petition from any individual or group.

Obahiagbon while speaking with newsmen at the end of the committee’s assignment said, “We have sat for two days now and no person or persons have approached this State Congress Appeal Committee.”

He added that the committee would write and send its report to the APC National Secretariat in Abuja.

In response, the APC Chairman of the Amosun faction, Derin Adebiyi, while explaining his faction’s absence from the committee sitting said, “How do you expect us to appear before such a committee? It means we are not serious like them.

“How could somebody, such a shameless person who was part and parcel of their congress, who spoke extensively against us, against what we stand for, praising our opponent, yet just a week after you came out to say you are the Chairman of the Appeal Committee, what do you expect from such a person?

“In fact, it is only God that exposed him and his collaborators because how on earth will such a person even accept that job?”

He also said, “Of course we believe that our own Congress is the authentic one, so anybody who has an appeal can go and appeal. We don’t have any appeal.”
