Elders in the Osun State chapter of the All Progressives Congress have met with a former governor of the state, Bisi Akande, to review the party’s preparations ahead of Saturday’s governorship poll.

Although the meeting was held at Akande’s country home in the Ila Orangun area of the state on Saturday, a photograph taken after the meeting showing Akande and his deputy, Senator Iyiola Omisore, walking hand-in-hand went viral on Sunday.

Two participants at the meeting who preferred anonymity as they were not authorised to comment on the matter told The PUNCH that the party’s governorship campaigns were reviewed, and suggestions were made to further strengthen the party’s chances at the poll.

One of the sources said, “Many elders of the party were present and, majorly, the group, Osun APC Elders’ Caucus, reviewed the party’s campaigns so far and made some suggestions.”
