The Southwest geopolitical zone has declared candidates to fill posts assigned to the region with less than a week until the All Progressives Congress (APC) National Convention on March 26th.
Anaedoonline.ng is aware of the situation. The nominees were revealed yesterday by Ondo State Governor Oluwarotimi Akeredolu, who is also the coordinator of the Southwest Governors Forum.
Mr. Isaac Kekemeke (Ondo State) has been nominated for National Vice Chairman (Southwest) and Senator Iyiola Omisore (Osun) has been nominated for National Secretary, according to Akeredolu.

He advised individuals with other interests not to act against the region’s overall interests.
Akeredolu advised, speaking through his Commissioner for Information and Orientation, Donald Ojogo, that anyone peddling alternate names for the jobs assigned to the southwest should stop.
He stressed that Kekemeke, a former Secretary to the Ondo State government and one-time Attorney-General, had been nominated for the position of National Vice Chairmanship, not National Secretary.
“He has paid his dues,” he added, adding that Mr. Governor has pushed his colleagues to do the same.
“Those who are peddling other stories such as national secretary outside Oyo and Osun axis are instruments in the hands of external forces desirous to create division among leaders in the Southwest to impose persons on the party.

“For emphasis, what we are going for is national vice chairman with Kekemeke as our candidate and not the national secretary. Those outside the Southwest, who are attempting to micro-zone our offices for us in Southwest are only creating unnecessary confusion and any such of their permutations outside the decision of stakeholders in the Southwest should be ignored.”
