Oyo APC Reps aspirants reject ‘unity list’, seek review of selection process

Several All Progressives Congress (APC) candidates vying for a seat in the House of Representatives from Oyo State have rejected the party’s “unity list” and called for a review of the candidate-selection process for the 2027 elections. The coalition, representing concerned aspirants, criticized the selection method as not transparent or competitive, alleging it was based on a “unity list.”

The aspirants, loyal to the APC and President Bola Tinubu, argued that genuine unity must be achieved through consultation, mutual consent, and fairness rather than exclusion. They demanded a high-level reconciliation committee to address their grievances, emphasizing the need for transparency and engagement with aspirants who invested resources in their constituencies.
