Tension is mounting in Ibadan North East Constituency II of Oyo State as aspirants and party members under the Peoples Democratic Party express dissatisfaction over the alleged imposition of a candidate ahead of the forthcoming elections.
The aggrieved stakeholders and indigenes have raised concerns over what they described as a deviation from the wishes of the indigenous people of Ibadan, alleging that a non-indigene (northern) has been favoured over locally preferred aspirants. The aspirant in question is said to be backed by Governor Seyi Makinde, a development that has further fueled discontent within the party ranks.
Sources within the constituency revealed that the situation has sparked internal disagreements, with party faithful calling for fairness, transparency, and respect for grassroots opinion in the selection process. Observers warn that if not carefully managed, the dispute could impact party cohesion and electoral strength in the constituency.
Efforts to reach party officials for official comments were ongoing as of the time of filing this report.
