The peaceful meeting of about four and half hours successfully crashed the almost two years lingering issues of the Union.
According to the PRO of the caucus, J’ICON Ojo (Oriire 08061274290) said; “two bothering issues identified are; first, union operates on no particular constitution and the second issue is the aftermath of unresolved fracas of ‘december 2020 union election’ from whence emanated the hitherto parallel leadership of Comrades; Gbadegesin Abdulmateen Ashiwaju and Ojo Oluwasegun O’Shegee led factions which almost snowballed into generational curse until today.”
The Parliament through the Chairman, House Committee on International Relations and Conflict Resolutions – Hon. Faozy Gazaly (IBSW +234 817 605 6355) in consultations with relevant Youth concerned outfits in Ogbomosoland (Youth wing of Ogbomoso Parapo Worldwide +234 706 656 9877, National Youth Council of Nigeria +234 703 761 6770, NANS +234 814 712 5865) eventually arrived at the following verdicts:
1. The Two warring factions are hereby dissolved alongside their legislative arms;
2. Ogbomoso Parapo is to step aside in the conduct of their elections moving forward;
3. A Constitutional Review Committee is to be setup, and to be supervised by Oyo State Youth Parliament through the office of Hon. Omoniyi Afeez (Iseyin/Itesiwaju and Chairman, House Committee on Education and Culture) in consultation with Hon. Timothy Oyebamiji Whyte (Surulere/Ogooluwa);
4. The two warring Presidents are to present two representatives each to make up the Constitutional Review Committee before 12midnight on Monday 28th of November, 2022 to Hon. Timothy Oyebamiji Whyte (Surulere/Ogooluwa 08033939534);
