Mouthpiece NGR correspondent learnt the meeting was summoned to encourage the aspirants to consider a consensus arrangement among themselves so that “they won’t waste a whooping sum of 10,000,000 on purchase of expression of interest forms.
When contacted, the Special Assistant on media to the serving Federal Honorable, Ogbomoso North/South/Orire, Comrade Olusola Paul said Captain Ajao did not shun the meeting but was unavoidably absent.

Olusola Paul also said his boss will accept whatever decision taken by party leaders, stressing that the idea of consensus is a welcome development.
