The Ogun State chapter of the All Progressives Congress has cautioned party members and the general public against what it described as “strange and dangerous fabrications” circulating on social media regarding the outcome of its recent caucus meeting.
In a statement issued on Tuesday by the party’s Publicity Secretary, Femi Nuberu, the APC said the reports misrepresented the resolutions reached at the state caucus meeting held on Monday at the party secretariat.
BEYOND AFRICA reported that at the caucus meeting, the senator representing Ogun West Senatorial District, Solomon Adeola, popularly known as Yayi, emerged as the consensus governorship candidate of the party.
Following the development, social media was awash on Tuesday, displaying the names of candidates for the senatorial districts in the state.
Nuberu, however, said, “For the avoidance of doubt and for the sake of absolute clarity, the party hereby reinforces its official stance as follows:
“The state caucus unanimously and consensually endorsed Distinguished Senator Olamilekan Solomon, popularly known as Yayi, as the party’s governorship candidate for the 2027 general elections.
“The state caucus equally reaffirmed the party’s earlier endorsement of President Bola Tinubu as its presidential candidate in Ogun State for the 2027 general elections.
“The party pledges its absolute commitment to delivering an unprecedented bloc of votes in support of the President during the election.
“The above are the sole and authentic resolutions reached at the meeting and represent the official stance of the party.
“Any narrative circulating outside the scope of this official statement constitutes a fabrication, and the party clearly and categorically denounces such fabrication outright.
“Party members and the general public are advised to disregard any information not communicated through the appropriate official channels of the Ogun State APC.”
However, BEYOND AFRICA reliably gathered that the Ogun Central senatorial district seat has been conceded to the former governor, Ibikunle Amosun.
The source, however, said the Senate seats for Ogun West and East are inconclusive.
