Oyo APC Aspirants Demand Review of Candidate Selection Process
A coalition of All Progressives Congress (APC) aspirants for the House of Representatives in Oyo State, known as the Coalition of Concerned APC House of Representatives Aspirants in Oyo State, has requested the party's national leadership to review its candidate-selection process for the 2027 elections. They claim the process lacked transparency and competitiveness, alleging that candidates were chosen through a "unity list" rather than through credible primaries as expected.
The coalition expressed loyalty to the APC and President Bola Tinubu but emphasized the need to address grievances related to the selection process to foster unity ahead of the elections. They criticized the exclusionary nature of the current process and called for a consensus arrangement based on consultation and fairness.
The coalition urged the APC to recognize the contributions of aspirants to grassroots mobilization and integrate them into campaign plans for 2027. The Oyo APC had previously unveiled its 14 House of Representatives candidates in September.
