At least seven governorship aspirants of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Osun State have withdrawn from the race following a meeting with President Bola Tinubu on Wednesday.
The aspirants agreed to rally behind Bola Oyebamiji, who has now emerged as the party’s consensus candidate ahead of the upcoming primary election.
However, one of the aspirants, Iyiola Omisore, boycotted the meeting. Omisore had earlier dismissed his disqualification from the primary as “a joke.”
Those who stepped down include former Deputy Governor Benedict Olugboyega Alabi, Dotun Babayemi, Akin Ogunbiyi, Senator Babajide Omoworare, Kunle Adegoke (SAN), Babatunde Haketer Oralusi, and Mulikat Abiola Jimoh.
