The All Progressives Congress (APC) in Abeokuta South Local Government has officially submitted three shortlisted aspirants for the position of Local Government Chairman ahead of the council elections in November.

Following a highly competitive process that saw over 23 aspirants from the 15 Wards of the local government express interest, party leaders strategically narrowed their selection to candidates from Abeokuta South Constituency 2.

This is rationalised by the leaders because Constituency 1 on the other hand already holds significant political importance, housing two ministers, a commissioner, the senatorial chairman, and the chairman of the Local Organizing Committee for the National Sports Festival, among other influential figures.

After extensive deliberations, the APC leaders finalized the following three names for consideration:

1. *Babatunde Adeluola* (Delu)
2. *Ayo Shomide* (AY-Show)
3. *Akamo Sunday Oluwagbemiga* (Akamo)

This phase of the selection process has been lauded as one of the most peaceful and orderly political runs in recent history for the premier local government.

As anticipation builds, all eyes are now on His Excellency, Governor Dapo Abiodun, and the APC leadership to make the final decision on who will represent the party in the forthcoming council elections.

The outcome is expected to set the tone for a highly competitive general election race, as the chosen candidate will lead the APC's charge in the November council polls.

Elections, elections, elections.

All the best to the aspirants

APC Onikuuuure.
It shall not be well with APC.

They can’t even allow one person go
Yoruba don’t love themselves

Just wasting funds unnecessarily.
Someone should pls drop a thousand naira for me to feed pls 🙏

I am sure the names belong to Gov Abiodun,Amosun and Osoba factions. In yewa south,I learnt the factions of sen Yayi and Hon Akinlade are struggling also...cc helinues,humberjade,seunmsg, mynd44

Gustavowhite:

That is an internal communication.

Whoever the state leadership eventually picks will be the flag bearer.

If Yorubas don't love themselves, our land won't be conducive for you to Japa to.

We love ourselves that is why we don't use UGM to murder our illustrious sons and daughters.

We love ourselves that is why we don't tie our people with ropes to their beds every Monday.

APC, a party of fraudsters, evil geniuses and wicked entities.

Ok Naa..

Na so we go dey see am,, until the Nigerian Constitution and The Electoral-Act says SOMETHING TANGIBLE about the conduct of the LG Elections in the various states.

They didn't do primaries.??

Or they didn't understand what “A Nominated Candidate” is supposed to mean.??

THERE IS SUPPOSED TO BE ONLY ONE NOMINATED CANDIDATE FOR EACH PARTY NAA.

Nice. This is democracy in action.

Well, that's just a shortlist, I am sure one of them will eventually be picked without any rancour. As for Amosun, I highly doubt that he has any structure left in the current APC setup,

Yayi is irrelevant in the political scheme in Ogun state

They can't even retype after making a blunder.

Why alter official letter with ink?

Good luck to them

Best of luck to all the candidates.

Useless and evil party. E no go better for this party and the people who are voting for them Insha Allah 🙏

Bad luck to all of them

Shadomaan7:
Good luck to them

You can see the nonsense. They selected three candidates for the governor to pick one of them. You can see our type democracy. Nigeria can't move forward with this selections we call democracy. It's not done this way in a true democratic setting.

Okay

Gustavowhite:

Read well, only one person will be presented but it has to be competitive within the party @ LG level and not handpick just one person

Don't be surprised that many complaining of Apc government will be the ones to vote in apc again

helinues:


Yayi is irrelevant in the political scheme in Ogun state

He is the next governor,he is the biggest thing in Ogun now.tinubu has anointed him.why are you against him

Amosun still has allies in that Egba axis and through triple A

How about the immediate past Executive Chairman (Hon Majekodunmi ) ? I learnt he is running as well and he 's from constituency 2 (Ignore ward).

Ok, noted.
