Alagbe Declares Authentic ADC Candidate in Oyo Election

Alagbe, the declared winner of the African Democratic Congress (ADC) primary election held on May 22, 2026, in Oyo State, asserts his status as the authentic candidate of the party. He states that the primary was conducted across 351 wards, with final collation at the University of Ibadan, where INEC was present.

Alagbe received over 15,000 votes and subsequently obtained a Certified True Copy of the primary report from INEC, which he claims is the only official document issued. He contests the legality of Adegoke's name being displayed by INEC, arguing that it was done illegally and undemocratically.

Alagbe emphasizes that the party must nominate the duly elected candidate as per Section 29(i) of the Electoral Act, rejecting any attempts to impose an unpopular candidate. He expresses confidence in the party's current leadership and the electoral process in Oyo State, contrasting it with situations in Osun and Ekiti.
