Farouq Aliyu, a member of the All Progressives Congress (APC), has explained why the party lost the Osun State governorship election. Aliyu told Arise Television’s Morning Show on Monday that internal disagreements among APC members played a role in the party’s defeat. He stated that some members were unhappy with the party’s candidate and chose not to support him, which ultimately impacted the party’s performance.
According to Aliyu, the APC did everything possible to win the election, including putting their best efforts forward. However, he acknowledged that internal divisions affected the party’s outcome. Aliyu acknowledged that the choice of candidate was one of the significant issues, as some party members did not support the chosen candidate due to their disagreement with him. He added that some members even acted out of anger, refusing to rally behind the party’s candidate.
In order to address the internal problems, Aliyu suggested that the APC should review its candidate-selection process. He emphasized the importance of choosing a candidate who has broader support from party members to ensure future victories. The APC lost the election to the Accord Party, with Governor Ademola Adeleke securing a substantial victory.
