The All Progressives Congress in Osun state has denied speculation that it was making plans to impose candidate on the party.
The ruling party said it was still making necessary consultation to identify appropriate aspirant who would be favoured by the party ahead of the September 22 governorship election in the state.
The party in a statement issued by its chairman, Prince Adegboyega Famodun also debunked rumour that it has favoured one of the aspirants.
The party therefore urged the people of the state disapprove insinuations that the party was trying to impose candidate or favour an aspirant.
“The APC in Osun thereby announced that the public should completely discountenance speculations and rumours spreading in the state that one aspirant or the other is either going to be imposed or has been particularly favoured to be the candidate of the party for the next governorship election in the state.
“Nothing of the sort has happened or is contemplated. Currently, party leaders and elders are engaging in a rigourous process of consultation about how to identify the appropriate aspirant, capable of representing the party, preserving its heritage and continuing with the development agenda and programmes of the party.
“That candidate will eventually emerge through the constitutional process that the party has agreed to. The public is hereby reassured that only the best will be presented as a candidate of the party,” the statement reads.
