APC Ibadan North Ticket: Olusegun Olaleye Denies Winning Primary Election
A top aspirant for the All Progressives Congress (APC) ticket in the Ibadan North Federal Constituency, Hon. Olusegun Olaleye, popularly called Radical Brother, has dismissed reports claiming he won a party primary that never took place. In a statement issued on Monday, Olaleye described the viral publication as “false and mischievous,” insisting that no official primary election was held on Sunday, July 20, 2025. “It has come to my attention that a misleading publication is making the rounds on various online platforms, claiming I have declared myself the APC candidate for Ibadan North. I categorically state that neither I nor my media team authored such claims. This is the handiwork of mischief makers attempting to incite conflict between me and the party,” he stated. The former Oyo lawmaker reaffirmed his loyalty to the APC leadership, noting that the party is still resolving the stalemate surrounding the primary process. “The APC National Headquarters is engaging stakeholders to chart a way forward. I will continue to abide by the party’s directives rather than act unilaterally,” he said. Meanwhile, six out of the ten aspirants have petitioned the APC National Secretariat, rejecting what they called a “kangaroo primary” allegedly held at an unauthorized venue in violation of party and electoral rules.
