2027 elections: Our NASS candidates’ list remains unchanged – Oyo APC

The All Progressives Congress (APC) in Oyo state on Monday said the list of its candidates for the National Assembly positions in the next year general elections remained the same.

Oyo APC in a statement by its Publicity Secretary, Olawale Sadare,

emphasised that the list of its candidates “emanated from the National Working Committee of the party which processed the results generated from the primaries conducted in May this year.”

The party noted that it was highly surprised that “some aspirants who did not secure the desired party tickets were reported to be misleading the public with fake claims through social media even as their supporters do more to create crisis within the party.

“For the avoidance of doubt, nothing has changed from what was made public last week. The names submitted to INEC are as follows; Senator Yunus Akintunde, Hon. Aderemi Oseni and Mrs. Hannah Ogunesan as candidates for Oyo Central, Oyo South and Oyo North Senatorial Districts respectively while House of Representatives candidates are; Hon. Akeem Adeyemi (Afijio/Atiba/Oyo East/Oyo West), Hon. Segun Odebunmi (Ogo-Oluwa/Surulere), Hon. Tajudeen Abisodun Kareem (Atisbo/Saki East/Saki West).

“Other candidates are; Hon. Akin Alabi (Egbeda/Ona-Ara), Hon. Olafisoye Akinmoyede (Akinyele/Lagelu), Hon. Folake Olunloyo-Oshinowo (Ibadan North West/South West), Hon. Tolulope Akande-Shadipe (Oluyole), Hon. Olamijuwon Alao-Akala (Ogbomoso North/Ogbomoso South/Oriire), Hon. Olatubosun Oladele (Irepo/Olorunsogo/Oorelope), Hon. Umar Farouk Alao (Ibadan North), Hon. Ibrahim Iyiola (Ibadan North East/Ibadan South East), Hon. Sarafa Olaoniye (Ibarapa Central/Ibarapa North), Hon. Saheed Adejare Yusuf (Kajola/Iseyin/Itesiwaju/Iwajowa) and Hon. Yusuf Asimiyu Osuolale (Ibarapa East/Ido).

“We are using this medium to remind aspirants and stakeholders that the window of opportunity for nomination of candidates by political parties is already closed.”

The party stressed, “To this end, we urge individuals parading themselves as APC candidates illegally to desist from doing so or be ready for the consequences of their actions. There cannot be two candidates for a single ticket and as Democrats, one should make it a do-or-die affair.”
