The Oyo State chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC) on Saturday adopted the indirect primary ahead of 2019 general elections.
At a meeting attended by 26 governorship aspirants of the party in Ibadan and the state Governor Abiola Ajimobi, they all agreed to the choice, promising to support any of them that emerged as the party’s flag bearer.
The governor stated that all aspirants serving in his cabinet must resign immediately to show commitment to their aspiration.
Ajimobi added that the move was to reduce the number of aspirants for an easy primary.
He stated that there would be no consensus candidates for all the positions and that he had no anointed candidate for the governorship position.
