Adebayo Adelabu, a Governorship aspirant on the platform of the All Progressives Congress in Oyo has re-echoed the fact that only the the national leadership of the party can make the final pronouncement with regards to recently conducted primaries.
In a statement released on Monday, the former Minister stated that “no individual or group at the state level had been authorised to announce the final outcome of the primaries,”
“At this crucial stage, no one should allow himself or herself to be misled by rumours, propaganda or premature victory claims designed to manipulate public perception, create confusion among party faithful and influence ongoing consultations within the party.
“Such actions are neither helpful to the party nor consistent with the principles of fairness, discipline and internal democracy that should guide our conduct as loyal APC members.
“Any purported list of candidates being circulated on social media or through unofficial channels should be treated with utmost caution until the national leadership of the party makes its official pronouncement,” he said.
