Though the APC is yet to lift restriction on party activities, it was gathered that the committee set up by the party to determine whether the party ticket should be zoned to the home town of Adeleke, Ede or throw the ticket open to all the local government councils in the senatorial district has not finalized its work.

ZENITHBLOG.com earlier reported that INEC has scheduled Saturday, July 8, for the by-election to replace Senator Isiaka Adeleke.

The late Adeleke who was a three-term senator elected on the platform of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in 2015, represented the Osun West senatorial district.
