The Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in the State of Osun Prince Adegboyega Famodun has told all the leaders as well as elders forum from the Osun West senatorial districts that it was only 90 days ultimatum given by INEC to elect and replace the dead elected officer with the new one.
Prince Famoodun made this known today during Osun West Senatorial meeting of Elders forum organized by the party at the APC Secretariat, Osogbo, state of Osun capital.
The Chairman also said the party can not do anything without consulting leaders from Osun West based on agreement, advice and modalities to use in selecting another candidate that will replace late Sen. Isiaka Adeleke who died recently.
In the meeting, not less than 85percent of people supported that the candidate should be picked from Ede, since it remained 2 years to be completed at the Senate by the Late Sen. Isiaka Adeleke who was from Ede, while very few had contrary opinion by saying it should be thrown openly to all ten local government areas in Osun west senatorial district in as much as it is not only Ede alone that will vote in the incoming by-election.
At the end, the APC Chairman, Prince Gboyega Famodun resolved that all Chairmen of the Elders Forum from Osun West, headed by the Osun West Senatorial Chairman Alh Yinusa Amobi and a party representative, Alh Rasak Salinsile will be members of committee which have only 30 days to submit their report on where and how to select a credible candidate that will surely win the by-election for us. And they should consult widely before submitting their report. Adding that any member among the elders forum that is interested in contesting should not be part of the committee.
He also said that party Chairmen at the local level should speak through their elders forum chairmen.
