An entrepreneur and APC aspirant, Mobolaji Johnson Adeyeye, popularly known as MBJ, has won four out of the six wards in Oye Constituency I during the party’s direct primary held on Wednesday.
Reports from InsightTV indicate that MBJ defeated his closest rivals by a wide margin across the wards where voting took place.
Party members turned out in large numbers, with most supporters queuing behind his posters and banners as part of the direct primary process adopted for the election.
Eyewitnesses said the atmosphere across the winning wards was charged with excitement as voters cast their ballots.
In videos circulating online, supporters were seen chanting victory songs and urging the party leadership to uphold the integrity of the process and reject any attempt at manipulation or alteration of the results.
The outcome is being seen by many party faithful in the constituency as a strong statement of grassroots support for MBJ’s candidacy.
His campaign had focused on youth empowerment, job creation, and strengthening local commerce, themes that resonated with voters ahead of the primary.
Political observers note that winning four of six wards gives MBJ a significant advantage as the APC moves toward finalizing its candidate for the constituency ahead of the 2027 general elections.
Party stakeholders are now awaiting the official declaration of results by the APC electoral committee, with calls from supporters for the process to be concluded transparently and in line with the party’s guidelines.
