Distressed Ogun, Ondo APC candidates seek Osinbajo’s, Tinubu’s intervention
Candidates of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Ogun and Ondo states have scheduled a meeting for the weekend to discuss their fate.
This followed their alleged neglect by Governors Ibikunle Amosun and Oluwarotimi Akeredolu.
The meeting, a source close to one of the National Assembly candidates in Ogun State said, will appraise the defections of some aggrieved aspirants to other parties on the prompting of the two governors following irreconcilable differences arising from the last APC primaries.
Although a position paper is expected from the planned meeting scheduled for Abeokuta, the Ogun State capital, the source told our correspondent that the candidates have sent emissaries to Vice President Yemi Osinbajo as well as APC National Leader, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, over their plight.
