While Oyetola and Yusuff are from Osun Central Senatorial District, Adeoti is from Osun West Senatorial District.
The aspirants met with the committee on Friday at the party’s secretariat in Osogbo. Adeoti, the ex-Secretary to the State Government, who is the preferred aspirant of Minister of Interior, Rauf Aregbesola, arrived at the meeting around 6:15pm.
Meanwhile, the ex-Deputy Speaker of House of Representatives Lasun Yusuf also arrived at 6:19pm. While the purpose of the meeting is yet to be made public, it may not be unconnected with the APC Primaries which is scheduled for Saturday, February 19.
Since the party has preferred a direct primary election, the trio has intensified campaign among members of the party and canvassed for votes in the nooks and crannies of the state.
