The party made this known in a statement obtained in Osogbo on Saturday, issued after its meeting and signed by Kunle Odeyemi and

The APC subsequently declared support for the reelection bid of the two incumbent lawmakers representing Osun East in the Senate, and the member representing Ijesa South Federal Constituency, Francis Fadahunsi and Olusanya Omirin respectively.

Commenting on the state of the country’s economy, the party admitted that Nigeria may be passing through some difficulties arising from tough economic decisions of the President.
It however assured people that, in due time, the country will overcome all hardships.
The statement partly read further, “That the entire Leadership Of The Party in IJESA SOUTH FEDERAL CONSTITUENCY hereby resolved and reaffirmed the confidence and unalloyed commitment of the leaders and members in the pedigree, character, competency, service delivery and experience of Senator Francis Adenigba FADAUNSI as the candidate of the Party for Senate.

The PUNCH earlier reported that the All Progressives Congress in the six local government areas of the Osun East Senatorial District’s Ijesa axis, rejected calls for the recall of the senator representing the district, Francis Fadahunsi, describing those behind the move as anti-APC elements.
The Director, Contact and Mobilisation Committee of the APC in Ijesa South Federal Constituency, Akinyele Akintola, stated this in a statement obtained in Osogbo while reacting to a protest against Fadahunsi in Ilesa.
The six local government areas are Obokun, Oriade, Ilesa East, Ilesa West, Atakumosa East and Atakumosa West.
Akintola alleged that Fadahunsi’s political opponents were behind the protest and warned stakeholders in the Osun East Senatorial District against actions capable of creating tension.
