BSST Osun Chapter Slams AMBO group's Unity Walk as "Show of Shame

Image
By Olayinka Awofadeju  In a scathing rebuke, the Bukola Saraki Strategy Team (BSST) Osun State chapter has condemned the rally organized in support of AMBO at Osogbo , describing it as a "show of shame." The rally, staged by supporters of the AMBO faction of the All Progressives Congress (APC), has been widely criticized for its perceived desperation and lack of substance. According to the BSST Osun State chapter, the APC's crisis-ridden state is a far cry from the peace and tranquility that Osun State is known for. The party's multiple aspirants, including Senator Iyiola Omisore , a former Deputy Governor of Osun State and National Secretary of the APC; Bola Oyebamiji , a former Commissioner for Finance in the state with an uninspiring and questionable record in public office and service delivery; and the serving National Secretary of the party, Dr. Ajibola Bashiru , are seen as mere opportunists seeking to exploit the state's peace for their own gain.
