There is apprehension in sections of the All Progressives Congress, APC over alleged moves to polarise the Southwest zone of the party ahead of the 2019 general elections with next month’s governorship election in Osun State as a springboard.

At the centre of the plot are two governors from the region, a federal minister and a prominent member of the National Assembly that is presently embattled over his defection from the party.

The various tendencies Saturday Vanguard gathered at the weekend have coalesced to confront the official party candidate in the Osun State governorship election, Alhaji Gboyega Oyetola who is believed to be a relation of national party leader, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu.

The plotters who succeeded in the same scheme in forcing out Tinubu’s candidate in the Ondo State governorship election, Segun Abraham during the APC primary, Saturday Vanguard gathered have also gathered to ensure that Oyetola does not win.
