Osun IPAC urges unity, swears in caretaker committee
The newly inaugurated caretaker committee of the Inter-Party Advisory Council (IPAC) in Osun State has called on political parties to unite ahead of the forthcoming governorship election.
IPAC also stressed the need for fairness, integrity and respect throughout the electoral process.
Speaking during the inauguration ceremony on Monday, the caretaker committee chairman, Odesola Oluseye, urged members of IPAC to put aside their differences and work together to strengthen democracy in the state.
Oluseye said the approaching election required all political stakeholders to stand together in promoting peaceful participation and safeguarding the credibility of the electoral process.
“It is time for us to stand strong as a united front, advocating for fairness, integrity and respect within our political processes,” he said.
He appealed to members to prioritise their common goal of building a stronger democratic system, saying unity among political parties remained essential to ensuring credible elections.
“As we move into this critical electoral phase, I urge all members within our state to unite. We must put aside our differences and focus on our shared purpose of building a better tomorrow for our democracy,” Oluseye stated.
The caretaker chairman emphasised that every eligible voter deserved an opportunity to participate in the electoral process, adding that stakeholders should work collectively to promote transparency and public confidence.
“It is our collective responsibility to ensure that every voice is heard, every vote counted and every citizen is empowered. Let us work hand in hand to create an electoral environment that reflects the true will of the people, fostering trust and transparency at every turn,” he said.
Oluseye also called for greater cooperation among political parties, saying the diversity of opinions within the state should be embraced rather than allowed to create divisions.
“Together, we can cultivate a culture of cooperation and collaboration, where the diverse voices of our communities are not just represented but celebrated,” he added.
The caretaker chairman expressed appreciation to the national leadership of IPAC for intervening to end the prolonged leadership vacuum in the Osun State chapter, saying the action had restored direction to the council ahead of the election.
He said the proactive intervention by the national secretariat had provided a foundation for the council to continue its constitutional responsibilities, assuring members that the caretaker committee would administer the affairs of IPAC in accordance with its constitution.
Oluseye, who expressed confidence that unity and adherence to constitutional principles would strengthen the electoral process and contribute to a resilient democracy in the state, urged members to remain committed to one another and to the democratic ideals of the council.

The African Democratic Congress, ADC, vice presidential candidate, Rotimi Amaechi, has fired back at the FCT Minister, Nyesom Wike, who said Atiku Abubakar picked him as running mate because of money.
Featuring in an interview on ‘Politics Today’, a programme on Channels Television on Tuesday, Amaechi said he does not respond to his subordinate.
Wike during a media parley with selected journalists on Tuesday had said that Amaechi does not have political value in Rivers state.
Reacting, Amaechi said, “I don’t respond to my subordinate. Wike never hired me. By the time I finish mourning and go into campaign, anybody that insults me, I will insult him back.”
It will be recalled that Amaechi was a presidential candidate of the African Democratic Congress, ADC, but lost out to Atiku Abubakar in the party’s primaries.
Atiku later approached Amaechi after the exercise and later, the ADC announced Amaechi as his running mate ahead of the 2027 general elections.

Amaechi made this statement on Tuesday during an interview on Channels Television’s Politics Today ahead of the 2027 general elections.
He said: “Let the president continue to tell the public that he would win the election at all cost until we get to the field.
“Whatever the president wants us to do at the field, we will do it. I’m not worried about what he wants to do. We will meet at the field.
“Nigeria has to be rescued. What the president and his men are doing is insulting my faith.”

2027: Tinubu should’ve assured Nigerians APC’ll slug it out with ADC, PDP, others – Amaechi
The presidential running mate of the African Democratic Congress, ADC, Rotimi Amaechi, has said President Bola Tinubu should have reassured Nigerians that his party, the All Progressives Congress, APC, will slug it out with the ADC, the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, and other opposition in the 2027 election.
Amaechi said Tinubu should have assured Nigerians that the APC will slug it out with the ADC, PDP, and other political parties on an even field during the 2027 elections.
He spoke while appearing on Channels Television’s Politics Today, where he tackled Tinubu over his comment during his meeting with the Catholic Bishops Conference of Nigeria.
During the meeting, Tinubu had declared that all is fair in politics.
Faulting Tinubu’s comment, Amaechi wondered that if thugs kill people during election, should that be considered as being fair.
He said: “Look at the president’s statement that all is fair in politics, if a thug takes a gun and shoots me where I’m voting, it’s fair?
“I just listened to him now, you know that I read literature, the moment a writer concludes his writing, any other comment he makes is interpretation, he has the right to interprete his books; I have the right to interprete his book.
“So when the president has said to you all is fair in politics, when the Catholic Church is crying about the possibility of having an election that may not be fair, all the president needs to do is to reassure the country that APC, PDP, and ADC will slug it out on an even field, that it will be a free and fair election, let the best team wins.”
