Supporters and loyalists of late former governor Lamidi Adesina met today at his Felele residence to dissociate themselves from the adoption of the governorship candidate of the All Progressives Congress, APC, Oloye Adebayo Adelabu, by those they described as ‘few elements’, as their candidates for Saturday’s election.
Recall that some members of the APC had defected from the party owing to crisis that occurred during the Congress. The breakaway faction, Unity Forum, is populated majorly by loyalists of the late former governor.
Speakers who took turns to dissociate themselves from the endorsement of the APC governorship candidate, said that they are yet to conclude on who to support.
