The Oyo State APC primary wasn’t an election. It was a fraud dressed up as one.

The party’s own register says APC has 153,641 registered members in Oyo State. Yet somehow, 570,690 votes were declared. That’s 417,049 more votes than members. Unless APC is now claiming ghosts, minors, and PDP members voted in our primary, these numbers are a lie.

This isn’t a mistake. It’s imposition, and it’s deliberate.

1. It’s imposition masquerading as a process
A party that claims to stand for discipline cannot defend results that defy basic math. When you force candidates on people and cook the figures to match, you’re telling members their role is to clap, not to choose.

2. It’s a lie that embarrasses the entire party
We fought the cabals in 2022 when they tried to block President Tinubu’s fair shot at the primary. We said due process matters. Today, allowing this farce in Oyo makes a mockery of that fight. You can’t demand fairness for yourself and hand out imposition to others without looking two-faced.

3. It’s an insult to Nigerians
People are tired of leaders who manufacture numbers after losing the room. If APC can’t run a credible primary for 153,641 members, why should Nigerians believe we can run a credible election for 200 million people?

APC was built on the principle that no player should referee his own match. Abandon that now, and we abandon the trust of our base. That’s how you lose before INEC even opens the polls.

The party has two choices: explain these numbers with evidence, or cancel the process and redo it by the rules. Anything less confirms that APC has become what it once condemned.
