A Federal High Court, Abuja, on Friday, nullified the nomination of Governor Isiaka Oyetola of Osun as the All Progressives Congress (APC)’s candidate in the July 16 governorship election.
The names of the governorship candidates of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and that of Labour Party (LP) were conspicuously missing in the list published by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) following the release of names of parties’ flag-bearers of 13 political parties and their candidates made the final list.
The All Progressives Congress (APC) in Ogun State has unanimously passed a vote of confidence on the state governor, Prince Dapo Abiodun, while assuring him and other candidates of the party of victories in the 2023 general elections.
In a communique issued after the party’s monthly state executive committee meeting held on Wednesday, September 28, 2022, in Abeokuta, and signed by the secretary of the party, Prince Aderibigbe Tella, the party resolved that “a vote of confidence and endorsement is hereby passed on the governor and leader of the party in Ogun State who is also the governorship candidate of the party, Prince Dapo Abiodun.”
The communique also “commended all our national and state assemblies candidates on their preparedness for the campaigns that will culminate into success at the 2023 general elections.”
The monthly meeting presided over by the state chairman, Chief Yemi Sanusi, expressed confidence of victory at the polls: “The party is well prepared for robust door-to-door campaigns that will lead Ogun APC to overwhelming victory at the coming general elections,” the Communique concluded.
