Minister of Communication Adebayo Shittu has threatened to work against the governorship candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Oyo State, Adebayo Adelabu at the 2019 elections.

Mr Shittu who lost in the race for the governorship ticket said on Wednesday that there would not be peace in the APC.

In a media chat in Abuja Shittu accused the APC national chairman Adams Oshiomhole and Oyo State governor Abiola Ajimobi of being the brains behind his exclusion from the party’s primaries.

The minister joins the list of influential party members who are unhappy with the party’s leadership.

Ogun State governor Ibikunle Amosun and his counterpart in Imo, Rochas Okorocha had also threatened to work against the party’s governorship candidates in their states.

The APC National Working Committee had raised a Peace and Reconciliation Committee for each of the six geopolitical zones to reconcile aggrieved members ahead of the elections.
