The All Progressives Congress (APC), Oyo State chapter, has produced its candidates for the House of Representatives across federal constituencies in the State ahead of the 2027 general elections, with several prominent politicians emerging from the party’s primaries held nationwide on Saturday.
The party concluded its primaries in most constituencies and produced the following winners:
Ibadan North: Umar Farouk Alao;
Ibadan South West/Ibadan North West: Folake Olunloyo-Oshinowo;
Ibarapa Central/Ibarapa North: Sarafa Olaoniye;
Egbeda/Ona-Ara: Akinola Alabi;
Akinyele/Lagelu: Olafisoye Akinmoyede; Ogo-Oluwa/Surulere: Segun Dokun Odebunmi;
Ogbomoso North/Ogbomoso South/Oriire: Olamijuwon Alao-Akala; Kajola/Iseyin/Itesiwaju/Iwajowa: Saheed Adejare Yusuf;
Atisbo/Saki West/Saki East: Tajudeen Abisodun Kareem;
Oluyole: Tolulope Akande-Sadipe;
Afijio/Atiba/Oyo East/Oyo West: Akeem Adeyemi.
Ibadan North East/Ibadan South East: Ibraheem Olayode Iyiola;
Irepo/Olorunsogo/Oorelope: Olatunbosun Oladele;
The result for Ido/Ibarapa East Federal Constituency was still being awaited as of the time of filing this report.
Meanwhile, confusion has trailed the APC primary election in Oluyole Federal Constituency, where multiple aspirants are laying claim to victory.
Six aspirants were cleared to contest the primary, including a former local government chairman, Kehinde Olaosebikan; former Special Adviser to the late Governor Abiola Ajimobi, Abiodun Gbolagade; former House of Representatives member, Sumbo Olugbemi; incumbent lawmaker, Tolulope Akande-Sadipe; Jide Adewale; and Mumini Tajudeen.
Four aspirants — Olaosebikan, Gbolagade, Olugbemi and Akande-Sadipe — have since been celebrating and presenting separate results, each claiming victory.
A party member who spoke on condition of anonymity blamed the development on parallel primaries, saying: “It was the party that caused it. The party is disorganised.
That made everyone conduct separate exercises. Four aspirants are laying claim to winning the primary. The leadership is so weak. It is a serious matter.”
