Members of the defunct Congress for Progressive Change (CPC) have raised the alarm over alleged marginalisation in the All Progressives Congress (APC).
The CPC members in the South-West alleged they were not considered for appointments into political offices by the APC-led administrationat both the national and state levels.
Spokesperson of the aggrieved APC members, Banjo Olalekan, alleged that members of the defunct CPC were treated as second class people in the APC.
Olalekan said the former members of the defunct CPC had, on several occasions, met with the Minister of Communication, Mr. Adebayo Shittu over the issue, but to know avail.
He said members of the defunct CPC in Oyo, Osun, Ogun and
Lagos states, were not given deserved recognition.
Names of members of the defunct CPC, he said, had been submitted to President Muhammadu Buhari for appointments into various political offices, but no positive response.
Olalekan lamented that the APC members, including members of the defunct CPC worked for the victory of President Buhari in the last general election, expressing worry about the alleged maltreatment meted to them.
The APC chieftain, who was governorship candidate of the CPC in Osun State in 2014 before the formation of APC, appealed to President Buhari to consider members of the defunct party in the South-West for appointments.
He also urged APC governors in the South-West to consider them for political appointments.
