APC postpones Oyo rally indefinitely over protest

The All Progressives Congress (APC) has postponed its presidential campaign rally slated for Tuesday in Oyo State indefinitely.

The party’s Publicity Secretary in Oyo State, Olawale Sadare, who made this known via a statement issued on Monday,  said the decision was taken by the Governor Simon Lalong-led Presidential Campaign Council over the protests against the lingering scarcity of fuel and new naira notes in Ibadan, the Oyo State capital.

“We need to allow President Muhammadu Buhari to work around the situation and ensure that normalcy returns, particularly as it concerns fuel and currency notes crises.

“At Oyo APC, we were convinced that it was necessary to go ahead with the event in order not to play into the hands of some antidemocratic forces who do not want the general elections to hold.

“We regret to announce the indefinite postponement of our presidential rally earlier slated for Tuesday. The decision was taken in consideration of the prevailing challenges facing the nation,” Sadare stated.

He added that a new date for the rally would be announced in due course, while assuring that the APC would host its presidential candidate, Bola Tinubu, soon.

He, therefore, appealed for calm among the APC loyalists and assured that the party would be victorious in the forthcoming general election.
