The outcome of the All Progressives Congress (APC) House of Representatives primary election in Kosofe Federal Constituency has continued to generate debate, following the circulation of an anonymous report alleging irregularities in the conduct of the exercise.
The report, purportedly authored by a group identified as “Concerned Stakeholders and Field Observers,” questioned the credibility of the primary election that produced Hon. Mayor Oladele Abiodun Oshinowo as the APC candidate for the constituency.
Among other claims, the report alleged that the election process did not comply with party guidelines and called on the APC leadership and relevant appeal bodies to review the outcome of the exercise.
However, Hon. Aramide Ogunlana has dismissed the allegations, describing the document as lacking credibility and unsupported by verifiable evidence.
In a statement, Ogunlana argued that the report relied on anonymous claims and failed to provide proof to substantiate its allegations.
“The document is neither signed nor supported by any verifiable evidence,” Ogunlana said, adding that the allegations contained in it should not be used to undermine the outcome of the primary election.
He maintained that the APC primary was conducted in accordance with party procedures and reflected the choice of party members in the constituency.
Ogunlana also defended several party leaders mentioned in the report, stating that attempts to associate them with allegations of misconduct were unfair and unsupported by facts.
According to him, party members who are dissatisfied with the outcome of the primary election have the right to pursue available internal appeal mechanisms, but such concerns should be raised through established channels.
He further urged party supporters to remain focused on strengthening the APC ahead of the 2027 general elections.
The controversy comes amid ongoing discussions surrounding the conduct of APC primary elections in different parts of the country, with some aspirants and stakeholders challenging outcomes through internal party processes.
As of the time of filing this report, neither the APC National Working Committee nor the party’s Primary Election Appeal Committee had publicly commented on the allegations contained in the anonymous report.
The development leaves the matter largely in the realm of competing claims, pending any official review or pronouncement by the party’s leadership.
