The meeting of stakeholders of the All Progressives Congress, (APC) in Oyo State, meant to arrive at a consensus Chairmanship candidate, ahead of Saturday’s state congress of the party ended in a stalemate.
The APC stakeholders met at the state party secretariat, Ibadan, at the instance of the party’s Caretaker Chairman, Chief Akin Oke.
The position of Chairmanship zoned to Oke-Ogun 1 was a special focus of the meeting with Isaac Omodewu (Itesiwaju), Abu Gbadamosi (Kajola), Yekeen Abolade (Iseyin), and Dele Akinleye (Itesiwaju) each still keen on being the consensus candidate.
With the Zone unable to reach common ground due to the resistance of the four aspirants on being the candidate, stakeholders at the meeting again gave the Oke-Ogun 1 zone till 11 am today, (Friday) to reach a consensus.
The last option opened to the party is for the delegates to go to the field at the congress on Saturday, however, top party stakeholders, maintained that the consensus option remains the most fancied.
Meanwhile, feedback on the Chairmanship issue is expected to be presented at a 3 pm meeting of party stakeholders with the Lawan Gambo-led state congress committee from Abuja on Friday.
At the meeting, Gambo is also expected to officially unveil the delegates’ list as some party stakeholders had insisted on seeing the delegates’ list before proceeding with Saturday’s congress.
