The Minister of Youths and Sports Development, Sunday Dare, has finally thrown his weight behind the recently constituted Oyo APC Elders Advisory Council led by ex Governor of Oyo State, Otunba Adebayo Alao-Akala.
The minister, via his Twitter page – @SundayDareSD, said the first task of the Advisory Committee is to bring about normalcy by ensuring that the spirit of inclusivity is enshrined.
The tweets read:
Oyo APC- the first Task of the Advisory Committee is to bring about normalcy by ensuring that the spirit of inclusivity is enshrined. I am not one to bury my head in the sand. No. Let’s pay attention to the details of unification. Not gloss over them. That’s my point.
I speak out because silence is not an option. As an investigative journalist and activist, I know that too well. I speak up because I want us to achieve genuine unity, not overnight unity that is not rooted. The rush to attack anyone not sharing your view can be disruptive…
I have looked around.There is only one former governor in Oyo State APC. He deserves the leadership role. Almost a given. But he bears a huge responsibility- to be father to all.The Uniter. The Arbiter. The modern leader. Those that seek for him a different role do him great harm
I appreciate the comment of our Honourable Minister. He is straight to the point and his choice of words is very urbane. I admire his style.
