The Ekiti state chapter of the APC has denied the adoption of the former governor of Oyo state, Senator Isiaka Ajimobi as the Deputy National chairman( South).
In a press statement today, released in Ado Ekiti, the state APC Director of Media and Publicity, Elder Sam Oluwalana, on behalf of the State Chairman of the party, Paul Omotosho, said at the meeting held at Oshogbo, where the purported endorsement was made, there was no mention of any sort of endorsement at the meeting.
“I was present at the meeting and nobody said anything about endorsing anybody for the position at that meeting,” Oluwalana said in the statement.
“We made our position clear that our state has to serve out its tenure and that we are endorsing Senator Gbenga Aluko for the position.
“The South West chairman of the party , Pastor Oluwajana received a petition which we submitted at the meeting and promised to forward same to the National Secretariat of the party. That was all that transpired at the meeting. For anybody to say or report anything to the contrary is not only false, but pure mischief,” he said.
