A fresh leadership crisis has hit the Oyo State chapter of the African Democratic Congress (ADC) as rival factions held parallel state congresses ahead of the 2027 general elections.....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶

The development highlights deep divisions within the party, with two separate congresses held on Saturday at different venues in Ibadan.

One of the congresses took place at the party’s state secretariat in the Oke Itunu area, while the other was held at an event centre along the old Ife Road axis.

Both exercises produced different state executive committees, each claiming legitimacy.

At the congress held at the party secretariat, the incumbent chairman, Yinka Olona, was re-elected alongside other officials including Alhaji Tiamiyu Abidikugu as Deputy Chairman, Barrister Bimpe Adelowo as Publicity Secretary, and Alhaja Fatimoh Salawu as Women Leader.

Others elected include Barrister Dauda Jinadu as Legal Adviser, Hon. James Obasa as Financial Secretary, Chief Ayobami Ojedokun as Organising Secretary, Niyi Lekan Ogunbowale as Youth Leader, Hon. Kazeem Abidemi Alarape as Treasurer, and Dr Oke Adebowale as INEC Liaison Officer.

Meanwhile, at the parallel congress held along Old Ife Road, another faction elected Hon. Jimoh Adelowo as State Chairman with Remi Abidogun as Deputy Chairman.

The faction also named senatorial chairmen for Oyo South, Oyo Central, and Oyo North, alongside Daud Temitope as Youth Leader.

Sources say the crisis stems from a struggle for control of the party structure ahead of the 2027 elections, with both camps insisting on legitimacy.

The Olona-led group maintains that its congress, held at the official secretariat, remains the authentic one and has vowed to resist any attempt to take over the party machinery.

Reports also indicate that similar parallel congresses were held at ward and local government levels across the state.

Key highlights from his address include:

  • Collective Responsibility: Akpabio stressed that military hardware alone cannot end criminality, urging citizens to partner with security agencies by providing timely and credible intelligence.

  • Economic and Banking Resilience: He declared that Nigeria’s banking sector has shifted from survival to absolute dominance, becoming one of the safest and most technologically advanced in Africa.

  • Reforms Yielding Results: He credited ongoing bank recapitalisation and financial reforms for ending the era where banks could suddenly collapse and cause depositors to lose their savings.

Ultimately, the Senate President maintained that a combination of proactive security operations, economic reforms, and civic cooperation will drive Nigeria’s path toward lasting recovery and national development.
