Akinwemimo, however, stated that the state party leadership and the youth wing are putting measures in place to ensure that the plan of Aregbesola and his supporters are flawed.
The Youth Leader said the party is raising the alarm for the national leadership to take action against Aregbesola.
Goke said, “We are saying these to alert the national leadership of our dear party that Aregbesola and his allies are no more with APC.
“Apart from the fact that their previous actions have shown that they are working for the opposition, they are equally determined to ensure that we lose other future elections, including the presidential election.
“They are out to spell doom for our party. But we are prepared to resist them and they will not succeed”.
