Tight Security As APC Holds Primaries For Osun Governorship Election

There is a tight security presence in Osogbo, Osun State capital ahead of the All Progressives Congress (APC) primary election.

The primary election is scheduled to commence by 12 noon while accreditation started as early as 8:00 am.

The exercise is held in 323 wards in the state and the party has approved direct primary for the exercise.

The security presence may not be unconnected to the clashes that have been recorded before the election day, in some parts of the state over a leadership crisis.

There are currently two factions of the APC in Osun. One faction is loyal to Gboyega Oyetola, the governor, who is seeking re-election.
