Ambassador Tunji Sarafa Isola has said that he will soon make his position known on the decision of the Ogun State caucus of the All Progressives Congress, APC, to choose as a consensus candidate for the state’s governorship position, Senator Solomon Olamilekan Adeola (Yayi).
Isola is one of the leading aspirants for the governorship position of Ogun State on the platform of the APC.
It would be recalled that the governor of Ogun State, Prince Dapo Abiodun, on Monday announced Yayi as the consensus candidate of the APC after a caucus meeting.
But in a statement made available to FrontPage on Tuesday, reacting on the outcome of the caucus meeting, Isola said he was still consulting with critical stakeholders to announce his position on the issue.
He said the consultations were necessary in order to ensure that every decision taken was not only strategic but also a reflection of the collective interest of the generality of the people.
The statement reads in part:
“I am sure you are aware of the outcome of the APC State Caucus meeting recently held in Abeokuta.
“As a democrat deeply committed to the values of inclusiveness, consultation, and responsible leadership, I wish to assure you that I am actively engaging in broad and meaningful consultations with critical stakeholders and respected voices across our political and social landscape.
“These consultations are essential to ensuring that every decision taken is not only strategic but also reflective of the collective interest, aspirations, and stability of our people.”
He urged members of his support groups to remain calm, steadfast, and confident in the process.
“Leadership, at defining moments such as this, demands patience, clarity, and a firm commitment to the greater good,” he said.
He announced that upon the conclusion of thes wide-ranging consultations, a comprehensive and well-considered position would be formally communicated.
“Let us continue to uphold unity, peace, and constructive engagement as we navigate this important phase together,” he said.
