Members of the All Progressives Congress in Oluyole Local Government Area of Oyo State have called on the state party leadership to affirm Abiodun Gbolagade as the winner of the recent primary election for the Oluyole Federal Constituency.
The party members and stakeholders from the federal constituency made the appeal during a peaceful protest at the state party secretariat in Oke-Ado, Ibadan South-West Local Government Area, on Tuesday.
Speaking during the protest, Gbolagade said he had been financing party activities in the local government for the past seven years, claiming that, “The primary election for Oluyole Federal Constituency was conducted successfully, and I was declared winner with over 2,000 votes, while the incumbent, Hon. Tolulope Akande-Sadipe, polled 36 votes.
“I want to urge the party leadership to strictly adhere to the results as announced, as this would strengthen unity and improve the APC’s chances in the 2027 general elections in the state,” he said.
