Below are the list across the 3 local government area in Oyo federal Constituency:
Comrade Ridwan a.k.a Advocate said ” We’re sure of victory in a transparent process but those afraid of our feat have been playing several cards to either see that the primaries doesn’t hold or they find any other means possible to subvert the will of the people”
He said further that ” We won’t allow any kind of selection in this forthcoming election, Our party is a democratic party and we must uphold the principles of democracy in all our dealings”
Owing to the fact that local government is supposed to be a training ground for future leaders at higher level, we must be very careful of electing or appointing old people, who has either retired from civil service or failed in their business engagement to hinder the growth of our local government by bringing people bereft of ideas to rule our local governments, he said.
