Oyo state chapter of the All Progressives Congress, (APC) on Monday warned its members against circulating fake delegate list in the state.
The party handed down the warning in a statement issued and made available to journalists in Ibadan by its Caretaker Chairman, Chief Akin Oke, 
According to the party in the statement, some saboteurs and desperate politicians in the state have been found to be behind a fake delegate list in circulation ahead of the party’s state congress this Saturday.
The APC Caretaker Committee Chairman expressed the party’s readiness for “a hitch-free and successful Congress as against the wishes of some anti-democratic forces whose objective is to see the Progressive family in crisis ahead of the 2023 general election”, 
” We would like to state with emphasis that the concorted local government executive members’ list being circulated on the social media platforms in the last 24 hours is fake and should be disregarded as only the National Secretariat of our party has the list with them at the moment while they have assured that it would be made public through the right channel at the appropriate time”, he said 
Chief Oke added, ” It is highly imperative for us to indicate that only delegates and officials are expected at the venue on Saturday as no unauthorized person or group of persons would be allowed entry into the stadium arena”. 
” The delegates are in two categories- ward chairman, ward secretary and three local government delegates elected during the local government congress held on July 31, 2021 as well as statutory delegates specified in the constitution of our great party”.
The APC Caretaker Chairman noted, ” we regret the situation that led to the postponement of the exercise last Saturday after some of our members expected at the Obafemi Awolowo Stadium venue had arrived and started a carnival-like engagement among themselves”. 
Chief Oke stressed, ” we are Indeed glad to inform members of the general public that there is no cause for alarm as the exercise will now come up this Saturday at the same venue”, adding, “to this end, we appeal to security agencies in the state to be on alert as we have it on good authority that the same set of state-sponsored hoodlums who wreaked havoc at a private facility where a faction of the PDP held its Congress last Saturday have been directed to visit our gathering this Wednesday and unleash terror on our leaders and members with a view to disrupting the Congress which they know would strengthen the opposition party to be able to dislodge Gov. Makinde from power in 2023.
