By Adejayan Gbenga

Confusion has trailed the All Progressives Congress (APC) House of Representatives primary election in Oluyole Federal Constituency of Oyo State as four aspirants have separately declared themselves winners.

The primary election, held on Saturday ahead of the 2027 general elections, was conducted across all wards in the constituency.

Six aspirants were cleared to contest the exercise, including former LG Chairman Alhaji Kehinde Olaosebikan, former aide to ex-Governor Abiola Ajimobi, Hon. Abiodun Gbolagade, and former lawmaker Hon. Sumbo Olugbemi.

Others are the incumbent lawmaker, Hon. Tolu Akande-Sadipe, Mr. Jide Adewale, and Mr. Mumuni Tajudeen.

However, Olaosebikan, Gbolagade, Olugbemi, and Akande-Sadipe all surprisingly laid claim to victory, each presenting different results to back their assertions.

As a result, supporters of the aspirants have also been celebrating in different parts of the constituency, further deepening uncertainty over the true outcome of the primary.

As of press time, the APC leadership had yet to react to the development.
