The Committee had said it received 32 petitions from 10 wards over the last ward congress which held last Saturday.
Tension rose at the state secretariat of the APC when loyalists of Governor Oyetola and Aregbesola met for explanations on some of the petitions.
A brawl later ensued between them with one of Oyetola’s loyalists, Muyideen Ajetunmonbi, injured on his head.
He told newsmen some loyalists of Aregbesola led by chairman of a group within the APC, The Osun Progressives (TOP), Elder Adelowo Adebiyi, led thugs into the premises to attack any member with the cap of Oyetola’s second term campaign.
But Adebiyi denied the allegation, saying he didn’t lead thugs to the venue.
He said he was invited to expatiate on a petition he submitted, alleging the state government had already hired thugs against members submitting petitions to intimidate them.
The clash went on between both camps with gunshots heard at the secretariat, forcing committee members to hurriedly conclude the sitting for the day.
