Senator Sarafadeen Alli, who represents Oyo South Senatorial District in the National Assembly, has emerged winner of the Oyo State APC governorship primary election
Alli secured a landslide victory after polling 578,143 votes to defeat other contenders in the race. Senator Buhari came second with 37,265 votes, while former Minister of Power Bayo Adelabu polled 19,193 votes.
Adelabu resigned from his ministerial position to contest the Oyo State governorship seat.
Adelabu had alleged that the primary election was manipulated. Adelabu made the allegation on Thursday while interacting with newsmen after voting at his ward.
Speaking to journalists, the ex-minister said, “I must sound this note of warning that it is not this way in a lot of other wards.
“Reports reaching me state that there are a lot of gross misconducts in the other wards, ranging from various forms of infractions.
“In some wards, they conducted the election hours before the appointed time and wrote the figures they liked.”
