APC deputy guber candidate: Osun West has it!

The All Progressives Congress, APC, in Osun State has filed in a dummy as running mate to the party’s candidate, Gboyega Oyetola as the party yesterday assured that the office remained zoned to Osun West Senatorial District.

The party has also asked its members and supporters not to panic over the issue of who will emerge as the deputy governor as it yesterday said that the issue is not yet finalised.

A statement by the party’s Directorate of Publicity, Research and Strategy, Kunle Oyatomi, said ‘’the decision to pick a candidate for that position from Osun West has not changed and will not change.’’

The party explained that the name originally forwarded to the Independent National Electoral Commission for the deputy, was a provisional one to complete the governorship flag bearer’s name submission which was mandatory.

As at the time that submission was made, a final decision on who will be the deputy from Osun West had not been taken. ‘’By provision of the law, we still have a three-week window to replace whatever name had been originally submitted with our flag bearer’s.

‘’That gives the party a breathing space to arrive at a consensus on who should represent Osun West as the deputy governor’’, the party explained.

“There is no cause for panic’’ the APC assured, adding that, ‘’party members should disregard the rumours making the rounds that the West has been betrayed.

“Rest assured that the deputy governorship candidate that will be on the APC ticket for the September election will irrevocably be from Osun West”
