Tinubu praised the aspirants for their commitment but warned against the divisions that cost the party the last governorship election in the state. He urged them to respect party decisions, work together and support whoever emerges from the consensus process.

At the end of the meeting, the aspirants and party leaders signed a joint declaration promising to back the consensus candidate and avoid actions that could weaken the party.

They also pledged to work together for APC’s victory in the next Osun governorship election, for which parties must submit candidates to INEC by mid December.
