Oyo ADC gov aspirant drags party to court over primary election result

A governorship aspirant of the African Democratic Congress (ADC) in Oyo State, Gbemileke Alagbe, on Wednesday, approached a Federal High Court in Ibadan to declare him as the party’s flag bearer for the 2027 governorship election in the state.

In a 16 paragraph exparte motion filed by his lawyer, Abayomi Idowu, the aspirant prayed the court to pronounce him as the authentic winner of the primary election held in Ibadan, the capital of Oyo State, on May 22, 2026.

Alagbe also prayed the court to order the ADC not to present any other result other than the one in which he won the election.

Alagbe also prayed the court to order the ADC in Oyo State to present certificate of return to him.

He also asked the court to restrain the party from submitting any name other than that of himself to the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC).

Alagbe told the court that the matter was such an urgent one because of INEC’s requirement that all political parties must submit the least of their candidates by June 26, 2026.

The presiding judge, Justice Uche Agomoh, thereafter ordered originating summons to be served on the respondents and adjourned the suit until June 25, 2026, for hearing on all applications.
