APC Appoints New Acting Chairman In Oyo

The Oyo State chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC) has appointed Alhaji Moshood Olayide Abas as its new acting chairman, following the death of the former chairman, Barr. Isaac Omodewu.

Abas, who previously served as the party’s deputy state chairman, was elected alongside Omodewu during the State Congress in October 2021 at the Obafemi Awolowo Stadium in Ibadan.

The appointment of Abas was confirmed by the APC publicity secretary in the state, Olawale Sadare.

He announced that the State Executive Committee ratified the appointment during an emergency meeting held at the party’s state secretariat in Oke-Ado, Ibadan, on Monday, September 16.

The statement reads: “Following the transition of our former state chairman, Barr. Isaac Omodewu, the Constitution of our great Party has placed on us an onus to fill the vacuum by elevating the Deputy State Chairman to the post of Acting Chairman and this is exactly what the State Executive Committee did at an emergency meeting earlier today.

“The new acting chairman belongs to the category of the leaders of the Progressives with an intimidating track record of service as a professional and a politician.

“Alh. Abas, a certified pharmacist, started his active political career with the defunct Unity Party of Nigeria (UPN) in the 70s and he was a direct trainee under the late Uncle Bola Ige. In 1991, he emerged as the Executive Chairman of the old Ifeloju Local Government Area (which was later split into Ibarapa Central and Ibarapa North Local Government Councils).

“He was also appointed the chairman of the Oyo State Hospital Management Board during the first term of late Senator Abiola Ajimobi. In addition, he held various party positions at the state level between 2004 and 2009 under the defunct Action Congress (AC) and Action Congress of Nigeria (ACN).”
