…Seek Transparent Candidate Selection

By Demola Akinyemi, Ilorin

Stakeholders of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in the Ekiti, Irepodun, Isin and Oke-Ero Federal Constituency of Kwara State have opposed the reported fourth-term ambition of the member representing the constituency in the House of Representatives, Hon. Tunji Olawuyi (Ajuloopin), and expressed reservations over reports that Mrs. Sumbo Oyeyemi may emerge as the party’s candidate for the 2027 general elections.

Speaking at a press briefing in Omu-Aran, headquarters of Irepodun Local Government Area, the stakeholders, under the aegis of the APC Stakeholders Forum, said imposing any candidate could create divisions within the party and affect its electoral prospects.

The forum’s Convener, Mr. Olusegun Adewara, said the group’s position was based on equity, fairness and justice.
