The leadership of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Oyo State, has confirmed that none of its governorship aspirants has been disqualified from participating in the party’s gubernatorial primary scheduled for tomorrow.
The clarification came amid widespread speculation alleging that a former Minister of Power and prominent governorship hopeful, Chief Adebayo Adelabu, had been excluded from the contest.
Speaking with journalists at the APC Secretariat in Oke-Ado, Ibadan, on Wednesday, the Chairman of the APC House of Assembly/Governorship Primaries Election Committee in Oyo State, Taofeek Olawale Abdulsalam, dismissed the rumours and affirmed that all duly registered aspirants remained eligible to contest.
Abdulsalam, a former Speaker of the Ondo State House of Assembly, further assured party members of a peaceful and orderly primary election.
