The All Progressives Congress (APC) yesterday ceded Osun Central Senatorial District ticket for the 2023 general election to Osogbo and Olorunda local governments.
The party, in a communiqué at the end of a stakeholders’ meeting held at the APC secretariat in Ilobu yesterday, resolved that the House of Representatives seat for Osogbo/Olorunda/Irepodun/Orolu Federal Constituency should be zoned to Irepodun/Orolu Local Government.
The communiqué, signed by local government executives, was read by the Secretary of APC in Osogbo Federal Constituency, Abayomi Oyedeji.
It said: “Party members will work day and night to ensure landslide victory for our party and Governor Adegboyega Oyetola in the coming governorship election in Osun State and other future elections.
“As partners and integral part of the federal constituency, we abide by the 2018 zoning arrangement of the two elected positions in the federal constituency. We support the zoning of the senatorial seat to either Osogbo Local Government or Olorunda Council and the zoning of the member representing the federal constituency in the House of Representatives to either Irepodun Council or Orolu Local Government, to ensure justice, fairness and equity.”
