Aregbesola
The All Progressives Congress, APC has debunked stories making the rounds and credited to some senatiorial aspirants in Osun State that Governor Rauf Aregbesola was imposing some serving lawmakers on the people.
This was disclosed by the Director of Publicity, Research and Strategy of the APC in Osun state, Mr. Kunle Oyatomi, in a telephone interview with The Punch.
He said: “The allegation against the governor is baseless and unwarranted. The governor did not interfere in any of the primaries because he wants the most popular aspirant to emerge.
“Some of the aspirants have been going about claiming they won the primaries, don’t allow them to mislead the public. The governor does not have any preferred choice among them. They are all members of the party and he would not impose anyone on the party.”
Reports say former Governor, Isiaka Adeleke defeated the serving Senator from Osun West Senatorial District, Husain Madasiru, while Sola Lawal defeated incumbent Senator Jide Omoworare, representing Osun East Senatorial District. Only Prof. Sola Adeyeye from Osun Central retained the party’s ticket.
However, the party has not released the official result yet.
