The All Progressives Congress in Osun State on Wednesday said Senator Babajide Omowarere won the Osun-East senatorial district primary in the state.

This was contained in a statement signed by the state Chairman of the party, Prince Gboyega Famodun.

Senator Babajide Omoworare, the incumbent senator, won the partys ticket both at consensus primary and general affirmation held on December 9, 2014 at the Nelson Mandela Park, Osogbo, the APC said.

The party expressed concerns over misrepresentation and wrong impression being created by an aspirant, Sola Lawal, who claimed to have won the primary.

The party also dismissed the claims being peddled in certain quarters that Governor Rauf Aregbesola imposed Omoworare.

The party said, On December 3, 2014, in line with the guidelines and timetable set for the primary of the party, screening exercises were held to scrutinise the credentials of the aspirants with a view to determining their capacity and the correctness of their records to fly the partys flag.

On the said date and at the screening committee stage, there was no primary. The process and stages that brought up candidates for various offices on the APC platform in the state were uniform and there was no ambiguity as to how they emerged.

The stage being referred to by the said aspirant is just a screening exercise and not sufficient as stipulated in the partys constitution to serve the purpose of a properly defined primary, which was finalised on December 9, 2014 at the Nelson Mandela Park, in Osogbo.

From the result of the exercise conducted for Osun-East senatorial district, Senator Babajide Omoworare won at all levels and has been issued the necessary documents to proceed as the candidate of the All Progressives Congress for Osun-East senatorial district. We implore anyone spreading falsehood and disparaging the party, our candidate and the governor to desist from such a diversionary exercise.

We also implore the general public to disregard any discordant tune, disregard all unfounded claims, remain focused and vote for our carefully chosen candidates of character and integrity flying the APC flags, including Senator Babajide Omoworare. The APC remains committed and focused to give the best of people-oriented and impactful democratic governance to the people of Osun and Nigeria in general.
