“It is not true that Chief Oyegun asked us in Lagos not to swear in our executives .There was nothing like that.

“And it was not true that he also directed the chairmen of Oyo and Rivers not to do so. He never said that at the inauguration.

“The misleading reports in some newspapers and social media did not just reflect what happened at our inauguration yesterday.

“My inauguration confirmed that I have no problem with Oyegun or any other person. We had a congress and I was validly elected. So there is no doubt about my position as the chairman”.

“In fact, we have since inaugurated our excos in Lagos and work is already in progress. So Oyegun could not have directed us not to swear in our exco, we have already done that, “he said.

On the issue of conflicts and disagreements within the party’s chapter, Balogun said disagreement was normal in politics.
