Supporters of former Minister of Power, Adebayo Adelabu, on Thursday protested at the All Progressives Congress secretariat in Oyo State.
The protesters demanded direct primaries as the mode for selecting the governorship candidate of the party.
Adelabu resigned as minister last month to pursue his ambition of contesting the Oyo State governorship election in 2027.
He formally declared his intention to contest the gubernatorial poll on May 12, 2026.
The development comes as the leaders and stakeholders of the party in the state formally adopted Senator Sharafadeen Alli as the party’s consensus governorship candidate ahead of the forthcoming primary election.
Alli’s adoption as consensus candidate was reaffirmed on Wednesday during a stakeholders’ meeting held at the Emeritus Professor Theophilus Ogunlesi Hall, University College Hospital, UCH, Ibadan.
