The former Governor of Ogun State, Sen. Ibikunle Amosun, has reacted to the All Progressives Congress (APC) meeting held in Ogun Central Senatorial District at the residence of Chief Olusegun Osoba.

Sunday Telegraph had earlier reported that the meeting held on Thursday, April 23, 2026, was on the nomination of candidates for the 2027 general elections.

Speaking on the development in a press statement issued by his media office, Amosun, a Senator representing Ogun Central Senatorial District, stressed that he would not be part of a primary election whose result is predetermined.

The statement read, ” My attention has been drawn to media reports about a meeting of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Ogun Central Senatorial District held last Thursday, April 23, 2026, at the residence of Chief Olusegun Osoba on the nomination of candidates for the 2027 general election.

“Many of the accounts of the meeting were a complete misrepresentation of the proceedings. The meeting was convened at my instance when there were insinuations about my candidature for the election.

“At the meeting, I recalled that three senatorial aspirants from the district had visited me to seek my support for their candidacy and that each of them volunteered that if I were interested in contesting for the office, they would withdraw their candidacy.

Nowhere throughout the meeting did I request anyone to withdraw from the race for me because that would be undemocratic and unacceptable.

I wish to reiterate that I am not only a democrat, I have also contested and won elections twice to the office of Governor of Ogun State and twice as a Senator of the Federal Republic.

What I said at the meeting, which I reiterate, is that I would not be part of a primary election whose result is predetermined.

I advise the media to report proceedings of meetings correctly by cross-checking accounts given by interested parties.
