APC to Address Oyo Governorship Aspirants' Crisis
The National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Prof Nentawe Yilwatda, is scheduled to meet today with aggrieved governorship aspirants and party members in Oyo State. This meeting aims to reconcile various factions within the party ahead of the 2027 general elections.
Some aspirants have expressed dissatisfaction with the primary election that produced Senator Sharafadeen Ali as the party's candidate. A faction led by former Deputy Governor Engr Rauf Olaniyan has claimed that the party does not yet have a governorship candidate for the upcoming election, emphasizing the need for a credible consensus candidate.
To address the ongoing crisis, President Bola Tinubu has previously met with party leaders, including former Senate Leader Teslim Folarin and Senator Ayo Adeseun. While some leaders have agreed to reconcile, the national leadership will convene in Ibadan today to further solidify party unity.
Expected attendees include Senator Sharafadeen Ali, Chief Adebayo Adelabu, and other key party figures.
