With the Zone unable to reach common ground due to the resistance of the four aspirants on being the candidate, stakeholders at the meeting again gave the Oke-Ogun 1 zone till 11 am today, (Friday) to reach a consensus.
The last option opened to the party is for the delegates to go to the field at the congress on Saturday, however, top party stakeholders, maintained that the consensus option remains the most fancied.
