APC Primaries: Rotimi wins Oye-Ikole Federal Constituency

The All Progressives Congress (APC) has announced the lawmaker representing Oye-Ikole Federal Constituency, Hon. Akintunde Rotimi, as winner of Saturday’s House of Representative primary election

Rotimi was declared winner on Wednesday night in the keenly contested election by the Chairman of the APC Primary Election Committee and Chief Returning Officer, Asipa Wasiu Adebanjo.

This was after the lawmaker polled 7,483 votes to defeat his closest challenger, Bimbo Daramola, who secured 5,209 votes.

It would be recalled that the primary election committee had earlier declared the election inconclusive, stating that the National Working Committee (NWC) of the party will take a final decision on the matter following controversies that trailed the exercise.

Announcing the final result, Asipa said the party resolved to release the outcome after due consultation and careful review in line with the internal guidelines of the APC.
