"Zone Governorship Ticket To Central, Forget Winning Election. "- Osun APC Youth Wing Slams Leaders

Ahead of the September 2018 governorship poll in Osun state, Coalition of Concerned Progressive Youths (CPY) a pressure group within All Progressive Congress (APC) in Osun state, has warned the leadership of the party, not to consider zoning ticket of the party to other zone other than Osun West in the spirit of fairness.

Should the ruling party give its ticket to another Senatorial District, the group said the party faces a bleak future in the state.


CPY noted that West Senatorial has credible people that can continue with good works of Governor Rauf Aregbesola, adding that by picking a governorship candidate from any zone aside Osun West Senatorial District, the progress recorded by the state under Governor Aregbesola would be truncated.

The group, in a release signed by the coordinator of the group, Mr. Korede Ajibade, said it has uncovered plot by some chieftains of the party to armtwist some 'decision makers' in APC to give its ticket to a zone that left power just few years ago.


The statement reads: "We have it on good authority that some people are working towards arm-twisting the leadership of APC to get the governorship ticket of our party zoned to a Senatorial District that left power just few years ago.

The said zone which left power in recent years may be referring to Osun central senatorial District which had the privilege of producing Chief Bisi Akande and Olagunsoye Oyinlola as governors back to back using a total number of eleven and half years to rule Osun state.

This statement may be putting fave to speculations going round in the ranks of the All Progressives Congress in Osun state that the governorship ticket of the party may be zoned to the central senatorial District.

The statement of CYP read further that "Osun West has credible people that can sustain legacies of Governor Aregbesola.

 We won't take it laying low while some elements that want to reverse Osun's gains will work towards destabilising our party", the statement concluded.
