The All Progressives Congress in Oyo State has rep0rtedly disqualified governorship aspirant Adebayo Adelabu from participating in the party’s governorship race ahead of the next election cycle.
According to party sources, Adelabu was screened out over issues linked to the party’s internal selection process, sparking reactions among supporters and political observers across the state. The development is expected to intensify political discussions within the APC as other aspirants continue consultations and campaigns.
Adelabu, a former Deputy Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria and former governorship candidate, is yet to officially react to the reported disqualification. Meanwhile, some of his supporters have expressed disappointment, insisting that the decision could affect party unity in Oyo State.
Party officials, however, maintained that the screening exercise was conducted according to established guidelines and in the interest of fairness and transparency.
