For now, we are studying the situation.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe will review the situation and come up with a decision, but we are not in a hurry. We had predicted what happened yesterday (Saturday).<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe knew that was going to happen. But the good thing is that we were able to stand up and be counted despite the fact that we saw a lot of underhand things done to undermine our coming to voting centres.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWith the voters\u2019 register not available, we definitely knew that something was amiss. So many names were missing on the list. We are still going to review a lot of things and make a decision. Definitely, we are not going to leave the APC. We are the real progressives. We will remain in the party and right the wrongs.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Reacting to the faction\u2019s decision to stay in the party, the Special Adviser to the Governor on Political Affairs, Sunday Akere, welcomed it, saying Oyetola had already called on aggrieved members to bury their grievances and unite in the interest of the party.<\/p>\n<p>Akere told our correspondent, \u201cThe governor, as the leader of the party and father of all, has extended olive branches to other aspirants and aggrieved members of the party. He told them to join hands with him to strengthen the party towards the election.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cA winner has emerged and we expect the losers to embrace him. Their supporters are also expected to join hands with the party to have a more united front. We welcome the idea of them remaining in the party.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Oyetola had earlier called on the two aspirants that contested with him for the governorship ticket of the APC to join him to move the state forward.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Osun Progressives better known as &#8216;TOP&#8217; &#8211; a faction in the All Progressives Congress loyal to the Minister of Interior, Rauf Aregbesola has disclosed that its members will remain in the party despite alleged manipulation of Saturday&#8217;s governorship primary.
