Six of the seven aspirants disqualified by the All Progressives Congress (APC) screening committee has warned that the party risks losing the off-season Osun state 2026 governorship election if it upholds their dramatic disqualification which is already causing some ripples in the ruling party.
The aggrieved aspirants made the declaration on Saturday while speaking with newsmen in Abuja, after they individually met with the Screening Appeal Committee led by Senator Tolu Odeniyi.
Speaking on behalf of his colleagues, Rasheed Adegoke, SAN said that the screening committee lied by alleging that they did not provide the required number of party members from the local governments to have endorsed their nomination forms.
“The screening committee claimed that the seven of us did not have the requirements of being sponsored by fully registered and financial members of the party. And we say this is not correct, by the documents we submitted to the screening committee, it’s evident that we all procured the people who signed for us as registered members of the party and who duly paid their membership dues.”
