According to a reliable source who disclosed to our correspondent, he said it was not an easy ride for Omisore who had former Minister of Communication, Adebayo Shittu from Oyo State and Akindele from Ondo States to contend with.

It took the founding fathers like former Governor of Ogun State, Chief Olusegun Osoba and other leaders to prevail on Shittu and other contenders to step down for the former Senator. This was despite the consensus arrangements that favoured Omisore as the National Secretary of APC.

The list of aspirants who finally emerged winners to form the new EXCOs for the APC in the next four years emerged late Saturday night.

The aspirants on the list are assured of the support of the party leadership at the highest level.

They will make up the National Working Committee of the APC and will pilot its activities ahead of the 2023 general elections.
