IBADAN – The All Progressives Congress (APC) in Oyo State is teetering on the brink of total collapse as angry party members took to the streets today, demanding transparency following a highly controversial primary election.
The atmosphere at the party secretariat was thick with resentment as protesters vented their frustration over the lack of official results. One visibly agitated party loyalist, who claimed to have depleted his personal savings to mobilize support for the party, openly decried the leadership’s silence.
"We did the primary, where is the result?" the member shouted amidst the crowd. "Eight years without being in power in Oyo State is paining me, I cannot suffer any longer. I am spending my own money while they treat us like pawns!"
The protest highlights a growing rift within the party, which remains desperate to reclaim power in the state. Many foot soldiers, who feel abandoned and financially drained by the party's internal inconsistencies, are now openly questioning the integrity of the leadership.
Critics argue that the party’s inability to conduct a transparent primary is symptomatic of a larger, systemic rot. Instead of a unified front, the APC appears to be cannibalizing its own support base, with grassroots members feeling increasingly betrayed by what they describe as a "pay-to-play" political culture that ignores the plight of those who do the actual legwork.
As the 2027 election cycle heats up, this latest eruption of anger serves as a grim warning: the Oyo APC is a house divided. With members turning their backs on the party hierarchy and accusing them of exploitation, the dream of returning to the Agodi Government House seems further away than ever.
The leadership has yet to issue an official statement addressing the missing results or the accusations of financial exploitation, leaving the party’s rank-and-file in a state of bitter uncertainty.
