Breaking News: Sarafa Ali is now an Oba, OYO APC Concerned Youth’s petition National Screening committee

In a significant development ahead of the 2027 Oyo State APC governorship primary, the National Screening Committee has received a petition challenging Senator Sarafa Ali’s candidacy.

The petition has raised concerns about Ali’s recent elevation to the status of an Oba, as he is reportedly a member of the Olubadan in council.

The concerned youth wing of the Oyo APC, through their legal counsel, has expressed apprehensions regarding the potential political ramifications of Ali’s gubernatorial aspiration.

As the situation unfolds, the party must navigate the legal and political landscape to ensure a united front ahead of the primaries.
