Just in.No Ticket, No Claim: APC Tells Aggrieved Aspirants

The All Progressives Congress (APC) has warned aspirants who lost the party’s primary elections to immediately stop presenting themselves as its candidates for the 2027 general elections.

The party stressed in a statement that only candidates whose names have been submitted to the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) are officially recognised as APC flag bearers for the elections.
According to the APC, its National Secretariat has successfully uploaded the names of its three senatorial candidates and 14 House of Representatives candidates from Oyo State to the INEC portal in compliance with the Electoral Act. The party added that the nomination process was concluded following the submission of the candidates’ nomination forms at its National Secretariat in Abuja.
The party listed Senator Yunus Akintunde as its candidate for Oyo Central Senatorial District, Aderemi Oseni for Oyo South Senatorial District, and Mrs. Hannah Ogunesan for Oyo North Senatorial District.
For the House of Representatives, the APC named Akeem Adeyemi for Afijio/Atiba/Oyo East/Oyo West Federal Constituency, Segun Odebunmi for Ogo-Oluwa/Surulere, Tajudeen Abisodun Kareem for Atisbo/Saki East/Saki West, Akin Alabi for Egbeda/Ona-Ara, Olafisoye Akinmoyede for Akinyele/Lagelu, Folake Olunloyo-Oshinowo for Ibadan North West/Ibadan South West, Tolulope Akande-Shadipe for Oluyole, Olamijuwon Alao-Akala for Ogbomoso North/Ogbomoso South/Oriire, Olatubosun Oladele for Irepo/Olorunsogo/Oorelope, Umar Farouk Alao for Ibadan North, Ibrahim Iyiola for Ibadan North East/Ibadan South East, and Sarafa Olaoniye for Ibarapa Central/Ibarapa North Federal Constituency.
The APC maintained that only the candidates whose names have been submitted to INEC are the duly recognised party candidates in Oyo State. It urged all aggrieved aspirants to respect the outcome of the party’s primary elections and refrain from creating confusion by falsely claiming the party’s ticket.
