The All Progressives Congress, APC, in Osun state, has zoned the Deputy position to the West Senatorial District of the state having picked the governorship candidate from the Central.
The party urged its members and supporters not to panic over the issue of who will be the deputy to its candidate till the issue would be finalised.
A statement by the party’s Director of Publicity, Research and Strategy, Kunle Oyatomi, said ‘the decision to pick a candidate for that position from Osun West has not changed and will not change ‘.
The party explained that the name originally forwarded to the Independent National Electoral Commission for the deputy, was provisional one to complete the governorship Flagbearer name submission which was mandatory.
“As at the time that submission was made, a final decision on who will be the deputy from Osun West had not been taken.
“By provision of the law, we still have a three-week window to replace whatever name had been originally submitted with our flagbearer.
“That gives the party a breathing space to arrive at a consensus on who should represent Osun West as the deputy governor.
“Party members should disregard the rumours making the rounds that the West has been betrayed. The deputy governorship candidate that will be on the APC ticket for the September election will irrevocably be from Osun West’.
