STOP MISLEADING CAMPAIGN MATERIALS CIRCULATING IN OYO STATE ADC

The Directorate of Diaspora Affairs of the African Democratic Congress (ADC) has noted with concern the circulation of misleading campaign materials and unauthorized graphics relating to the party's governorship ticket in Oyo State.

We wish to categorically state that these materials do not emanate from the party or any of its authorized organs.

We therefore urge the general public, members of the media, party faithful, and all stakeholders to disregard any unauthorized campaign flyers promoting false narratives or individuals who did not emerge victorious in the party's governorship primary election.

ALAGBE EMERGES WINNER OF OYO ADC GOVERNORSHIP PRIMARIES

For the avoidance of doubt, Gbemileke Alagbe, popularly known as "Eleniyan," duly emerged as the winner of the African Democratic Congress (ADC) governorship primary election in Oyo State and is the party's legitimate governorship candidate for the 2027 general elections.

The primary election was conducted across all wards in Oyo State under the supervision of representatives of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), the Nigeria Police Force, and the Department of State Services (DSS).

The exercise was peaceful, transparent, credible, and conducted in full compliance with the party's electoral guidelines.

Official Primary Election Results Total Votes Cast: 21,500

Candidate Votes Polled Gbemileke Alagbe (Eleniyan) 15,616 (Winner) Niyi Aborisade 4,307 Adegboyega Taofeek Adegoke 987 Azeez Adeduntan 500 Oyebisi Luqmon Ilaka 90

These results were officially announced by Harrison Akpojaro, Chairman of the Oyo State ADC Primary Elections Committee, and remain the authentic and recognized outcome of the governorship primary.

A Call for Unity and Responsible Conduct

In light of these officially certified results, we call on those responsible for producing and circulating deceptive campaign materials to desist immediately. The success of our great party depends on truth, discipline, unity, and respect for due process—not misinformation or actions capable of creating unnecessary division.

In his acceptance speech, the party's flagbearer, Gbemileke Alagbe (Eleniyan), reaffirmed his commitment to an inclusive campaign and party unity:

The Directorate of Diaspora Affairs congratulates Gbemileke Alagbe (Eleniyan) on his well-deserved victory and calls on all ADC members in Oyo State, across Nigeria, and throughout the diaspora to unite behind our flagbearer as we collectively work towards delivering victory for the African Democratic Congress in 2027.

Signed:

Hon. Daniel Akeni
