Our attention has been drawn to a misleading social media publication falsely alleging that Alh. Dr. Rasak Olusola Sotayo (Solebo), Chairman of ROMO threatened a party member during a political gathering. We wish to clearly state that the allegation is false, misleading, and a deliberate misinterpretation of his comments. Alh. Dr. Sotayo’s statement was only directed at addressing the conduct of a Ward Secretary whose actions have consistently lacked support for the collective struggle and preparations leading to the primary election. His remarks were organizational and disciplinary in nature and never intended as a threat to any individual.

Dr. Rasak Olusola Sotayo remains a committed advocate of peace, party unity, and democratic engagement. We therefore urge the public and party members to disregard the false p...
