Following their meeting with President Bola Tinubu on Wednesday, at least seven candidates running for governor of Osun State under the All Progressives Congress (APC) platform resigned.
In the upcoming primary, they have unanimously decided to back Bola Oyebamiji as the unanimous candidate for governor.
Iyiola Omisore, one of the candidates, abstained from the meeting that President Tinubu held at the Presidential Villa.
Prior to this, Omisore had called his main disqualification a joke.
Former Deputy Governor Benedict Olugboyega Alabi, Akin Ogunbiyi, Dotun Babayemi, Senator Babajide Omoworare, Kunle Adegoke, Babatunde Haketer Oralusi, and Mulikat Abiola Jimoh are among the candidates that resigned.
