Osun 2018: APC may adopt option A4 for primaries
There are strong indications that the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) in Osun State may adopt the Option A4 system in picking its candidate for the forthcoming governorship election in the state.
Party leaders, The Nation gathered, are seriously considering the option as they seek to conduct a rancour free primary election.
Sources said that following the recommendation of the Option A4 by APC leaders in the Southwest in the aftermath of the crisis that ensued during the first governorship primary election in Ekiti State earlier this month, and the growing number of gubernatorial aspirants in Osun State, concerns have been mounting on the need to ensure that the process of selecting the APC flag-bearer is free, fair, credible and acceptable to all aspirants.
Option A4 was made popular during the regime of former military ruler, Gen. Ibrahim Babangida.
