At least seven Osun State governorship aspirants from the All Progressives Congress (APC) have withdrawn from the race following a meeting with President Bola Tinubu on Wednesday.
They have all agreed to support Bola Oyebamiji as the consensus governorship candidate in the forthcoming primary.
The meeting, called by President Tinubu at the Presidential Villa, was boycotted by one of the aspirants, Iyiola Omisore.
Omisore had earlier described his disqualification from the primary as a joke.
The aspirants who stepped down include former Deputy Governor Benedict Olugboyega Alabi, Dotun Babayemi, Akin Ogunbiyi, Senator Babajide Omoworare, Kunle Adegoke, Babatunde Haketer Oralusi, and Mulikat Abiola Jimoh.
