The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Osun has said about 1 500 delegates would participate in its Saturday’s governorship primary.

According to Bola Ajao, the publicity secretary of the PDP, the party has fixed April 2 for its ward delegates election which would produce three delegates from each ward that would take part in the April 5 primary.

The delegates that emerge victorious will be the ones to be accredited for the April 5 governorship primary.

The 332 wards in Osun will produce 996 ward delegates.

“Apart from the 996 delegates that will emerge on Thursday, there will be other delegates categorised as statutory delegates.

“These statutory delegates are drawn from the state executive, local executive, state working committee and former house of assembly members.

“Other statutory delegates include, former local government chairmen and their deputies and members of board of trustees,’’ Ajao said.

The four aspirants that are to contest at the Osun PDP primary are Iyiola Omisore, Olasunkanmi Akinlabi, Adetunji Adeleke and Wole Oke.
