In a strange move, the All Progressives Congress in Ede/Egbedore/Ejigbo Federal Constituency on Tuesday declared their support for the second term ambition of Osun State Governor, Adegboyega Oyetola.
The leadership of the party in the constituency also barred members of the party from the area from contesting the APC governorship ticket with Oyetola.
Addressing newsmen in Ido Osun, the chairman of the party in the Federal Constituency, Gbadebo Ajao, also said the time was not ripe for another agitation that the governorship ticket of APC should move to Osun West Senatorial District.
Ajao, who was flanked by other leaders of the party, also said the APC members in the Federal Constituency had come to appreciate excellent performances of Oyetola and have decided to support him for another.
He said, “At this juncture, we leaders of APC Ede/Egbedore/Ejigbo Federal Constituency are declaring our hearty resolution as a Federal Constituency to remain committed, loyal, supportive and dependable allies of Governor Adegboyega Oyetola in working selflessly for the realisation of his second term come 16th day of July 2022.
“Based on this stand, we are also declaring to the world that none of APC members from Ede/Egbedore/Ejigbo Federal Constituency will contest party primaries with the incumbent performing governor and just whosoever does that is not known to us and does not/would not have our support in any form whatsoever.”
