The national leadership of the All Progressives Congress said on Saturday that it had not endorsed any aspirant to emerge as the candidate of the party for the November 26 governorship election in Ondo State.
The APC Chairman, John Oyegun, who addressed press after the closed door meeting, however, said that anybody in the party has the right to endorse any aspirant of their choice, stressing that endorsement was different from imposition.
He said, “We have had extensive and frank discussions; we have had discussions that were occasionally passionate and strong but at the end of the day, I think we have reached some very basic and fundamental understanding that will guide the process in Ondo State from now through the primary period.”
The national leader of the APC, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, had been accused of planning to ‘anoint’ one of the aspirants, Mr. Segun Abraham.
Tinubu had denied the allegation but insisted that he had the right to support any aspirant of his choice.
Members of the National Working Committee of the APC met with the 24 APC governorship aspirants in the election on Saturday in Abuja over the current crisis in the state.
