Ahead of the upcoming local government elections, the All Progressives Congress (APC) has submitted its vice chairmanship candidates list to the Ogun State Independent Electoral Commission (OGSIEC). While the list includes 20 local governments, Sagamu’s vice chairmanship candidate was conspicuously missing. Other areas like Odogbolu, Imeko Afon, and Ipokia also recorded similar omissions.

This omission raises questions, given Sagamu’s political importance. Alongside Sagamu, other local government areas like Odogbolu, Imeko Afon, and Ipokia also had missing vice chairmanship candidates.

With the screening process set for Thursday, political watchers are speculating on the reasons behind these absences, particularly for politically significant areas like Sagamu. The APC aims to ensure its strongest candidates are in place as campaigns heat up across Ogun State, positioning the party for a fierce electoral contest.

Sources close to the party indicated that the list, which includes twenty candidates, was submitted ahead of a screening process scheduled to take place on Thursday. While the exact date and time of the submission remain undisclosed, insiders confirm that this marks a significant move in the party’s leadership selection process.

The candidates nominated for vice chairmanship across various local government areas are as follows:

The recent submission of vice chairmanship candidates by the All Progressives Congress (APC) to the Ogun State Independent Electoral Commission (OGSIEC) for the local government elections is stirring conversations, especially with the absence of a candidate for Sagamu.

The APC appears to be taking a careful approach in its leadership selection process as it prepares for the upcoming elections. The absence of a Sagamu candidate could reflect internal party deliberations or unresolved negotiations. Meanwhile, the screening process, set for Thursday, will further clarify the status of these nominations.

This development is important for local governance in Ogun State, as the vice chairpersons will play critical roles in managing their local councils. Sagamu residents, in particular, will be looking closely at how this omission is addressed ahead of the elections.

The submission of these candidates illustrates the APC’s commitment to advancing its political agenda and adhering to internal electoral processes. As the screening day approaches, the party aims to ensure that qualified leaders are selected to represent the various local government areas.

With the local elections on the horizon, intense campaigning and discussions among candidates are expected as they seek to connect with the electorate and present their visions for leadership in Ogun State.
