The Oyo State chapter of the All Progressives Congress, APC, has clarified that it has no knowledge of the purported endorsement of a gubernatorial candidate of the party ahead of the 2027 elections.
The party made the clarification in a statement issued by its Publicity Secretary, Wasiu Sadare.
The statement was made available to DAILY POST on Wednesday evening.
DAILY POST reports that a rumour surfaced yesterday claiming that some leaders of the party had picked gubernatorial candidates in Oyo, Lagos, and Ogun states.
It indicated that some leaders of the party met in Abuja and Lagos to arrive at the decision.
However, Sadare, in his reaction, advised members of the party to disregard the rumour.
Sadare, in the statement, noted that the necessary rules and regulations of the party would be followed in the selection of candidates for the elections.
He added that the party will give all aspirants equal chances to contest.
He explained that candidates of the party would be picked in accordance with electoral guidelines.
Sadare said, “However, all eligible and competent members of our great party who have the intention to vie for political office in 2027 will be given equal chance to pursue their ambition, while we assure the citizenry that our candidates will be ones who can serve their best interest and deliver on their campaign promises.”
