Oyo APC Rift Grows as Six Aspirants Reject Sharafadeen Alli’s Candidature

A crisis has unfolded in the Oyo State chapter of the APC after six of the 11 governorship aspirants rejected Senator Sharafadeen Alli’s emergence for the 2027 election. They maintain the party failed to meet legal and internal requirements under the Electoral Act. The dissenting aspirants — Engr. Hakeem Alao, Engr. Rauf Olaniyan, Dr Ayobami Lam-Adesina, Barr. Akeem Agbaje, Mr Ololade Bakare and Barr. Musibau Asanike — presented their objections to a reconciliation committee chaired by Senator Olufemi Lanlehin and Professor Taoheed Adedoja. The standoff underscores growing divisions within the opposition and raises fresh questions about internal consensus. The APC now faces pressure to conduct a transparent process and unite ahead of the 2027 governorship contest.
