Ajimobi Emerges Oyo South APC Candidate

The Oyo State Governor, Senator Abiola Ajimobi, has emerged the All Progressives Congress' candidate for Oyo South Senatorial district ahead of the 2019 general elections.

Ajimobi, in the party's primary, scored 2,659 votes to defeat Dr. Fola Akinosun who polled 168 votes.

Chief Ademola Seriki-led electoral panel announced the result, confirming Ajimobi's victory, in the early hour of Wednesday. The primary election which started around 6.30pm yesterday (Tuesday), according to the panel, was delayed due to the late arrival of voting materials from the national headquarters of the party in Abuja.

Gov. Ajimobi is seeking re-election into the country Upper Chamber to seek a return to the Red Chamber, where he represented Oyo South between 2003 and 2007, under platform of the defunct Alliance for Democracy (AD).

In his address with journalists after being declared the winner, the governor applauded the electoral committee for what he called the hitch-free and smooth conduct of the exercise, despite the earlier delay.

Ajimobi said, “I look forward to going back to the Red Chamber to contribute my quota to the national debate and the progress of the nation. I wish to bring to fore my parliamentary experience to grow a Nigeria that the next generation will be proud of.

“The process has just started today (yesterday) with my emergence as the candidate of our great party. The people of Oyo South Senatorial district should expect greater performance from me at the Senate, which will even surpass my unprecedented achievements as governor by the grace of God.

“As you have all witnessed, the election was free, fair and transparent. I was even happy that my younger brother, Dr. Fola Akinosun, could score as high as 168 votes. I think he tried. And you can see that it was transparent and I am happy about it.”
