Oyo Guber 2027: Alli Raises Alarm over Alleged Attack on APC Members in Ibadan, Accuses APM

The governorship candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Oyo State, Senator Sharafadeen Alli, has raised the alarm over an alleged attack on two APC members in Ibadan, according to the Daily Post Nigeria. Alli alleged that the two APC members were attacked by hoodlums suspected to be members of the Allied Peoples Movement (APM).

The alleged attack comes as the 2027 general election in Oyo State is fast approaching. Alli, who is a contender in the election, has called on security agencies to investigate the incident and bring the perpetrators to justice.

According to the Daily Post, the APC members were attacked on Tuesday in the Idi-Aba area of Ibadan, the Oyo State capital. The report did not provide details on the condition of the victims.

Alli’s allegations against APM are significant, as the two political parties have a history of political rivalry in Oyo State. The APM was founded in 2018 by a former APC governor, Senator Abiola Ajimobi, who is currently the party’s national leader.

The alleged attack on APC members is a cause for concern, as it could escalate tensions between the two parties ahead of the 2027 election. It is crucial for political leaders to maintain peace and ensure a level playing field for all contenders in the election.
