Osun state Vice Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Dr. Salihu Lukman, has accused the National Secretary of the party, Senator Iyiola Omisore, of mismanaging the campaign funds given to him by the party to prosecute the Osun State governorship election.
The candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Senator Ademola Adeleke, won the July 16, 2022 governorship election after defeating Gboyega Oyetola of the APC.
He stressed the need for the party to reactivate all organs of the party, while lamenting that after a year, the Senator Abdullahi Adamu-led National Working Committee, NWC, has refused to convey the National Executive Council, NEC, meeting, despite the constitution stipulating that NEC must meet every quarter.
Lukman stated: “We must emphasize that acting as a party requires that we activate the organs of the party to function. And I think this is the struggle we have been waging and once the organs of the party are not working, then even the capacity to hold leaders to account will be weak.
“And that is where we are and that is partly what is producing some of the unhealthy development in (the party). For instance, Osun State, which is part of the reason why I said the National Secretary has failed, in terms of stabilizing Osun and uniting people.

“Part of the issue with that is that I’m aware the party has given some campaign funds to Osun which was handled by the National Secretary and to some extent, he has either mismanaged it but more importantly, he’s not accounting to anybody and you have to activate the process of accountability.
