Elders Block Plot to Imose Oyetola’s Son in Osun APC Senatorial Primary

Fresh reports from APC insiders reveal a failed attempt to install Olufemi Oyetola, son of former governor Gboyega Oyetola, as the party’s candidate for Osun Central senatorial district. Sources say influential elders resisted pressure from the minister, reminding leaders of presidential directives to accommodate returning lawmakers and defectors. The fallout reportedly forced Femi Oyetola’s withdrawal and a last-minute shift of support to aspirant Adegoke “KRAD” Rasheed. Party members voice frustration over alleged manipulation and secret meetings. They warn that persistent imposition and factional battles risk cracking party unity ahead of future elections.
