I have not endorsed any successor — Aregbesola

Ahead of the 2018 governorship election in Osun State, Governor Rauf Aregbesola said he has not endorsed anyone to succeed him.
The governor made the declaration on Saturday in Osogbo at an all night interactive programme, tagged: “Ogbeni Till Daybreak.”
Aregbesola, said it was not true that effort to choose who would succeed him in 2018 was threatening his party, the All Progressives Congress, in the state.
The governor said the APC in the state was as solid, strong and effective as any party could be.
He said: “There is no any aspect of our party’s organisation and management that have suffered in any form in respect of who will be my successor.
“We are united, connected and working so well for the progress of the party.
“We are the most cohesive political party in the state.”
The governor, however, said no opposition party in the state could withstand APC in 2018 governorship election.
Aregbesola said: “If the only opposition party we have in the state is disorganised, dismembered, then where is the fear for 2018 election?”
On the speculation that the governor was planning to contest for the Lagos West Senatorial District election in 2019, Aregbesola said there was no such dream yet.
The APC Chairman in the State, Gboyega Famodun, who Aregbesola also asked to speak on 2018 election in the state, said the party had not chosen anyone as its candidate.
Famodun said: “There is no governorship aspirant in the party as far as I know.
“The insubordination of few members of the party does not mean that the party is being threatened ahead of 2018 governorship election.
“We have a very strong structure in the state.”
Famodun said there was no timetable yet from the Independent National Electoral Commission on the 2018 election in the state.
