Since this morning, I have been inundated with inquiries on a publication by one national newspaper (name withheld) whose caption today reported that: “2027: Ogun APC Stakeholders Opt for Amusan’s Candidacy”

As a media man and having reviewed the headline along with the body of report, I realized that while the headline may be crafty and catchy, however, it leads to justifiable misinterpretations; which have fueled inquiries by party leaders and members.

For the avoidance of doubt and with all sense of responsibility, the issue of the candidacy for the 2027 governorship ticket of the All Progressives Congress (APC) is not on the table of the party and its leaders for now.

The present preoccupation of the party is to support our performing governor and leader of the party in the state, Prince Dapo Abiodun, in executing his unfolding legacy projects, which will certainly boost the standing of our party at the next general elections.

While members have the right to project their preferred aspirants, we must be wary of misinformation that may heat up the polity and create needless rumors and rancour.

It is needless to remind members that the party has the established structure and procedure to apply the big sticks for those who overstep their bounds.
