Reps Primaries: Osun APC Says ‘No Victor, No Vanquished’, Urges Respect For Party Supremacy

Osun State APC on Sunday congratulated the candidates, former co-aspirants, members and numerous supporters of the party on the success of the House of Representatives primary elections held on Saturday while submitting that there was no winner or loser.

‘For the mere fact that any election is a competition for interests and opportunities where it is constitutional for each of the aspirants to be the first among equals is the reason why there seems to be unease at any period of all manners of elections worldwide.

We commend the displayed spirit of sportsmanship of aspirants who could not emerge victorious while they should however take solace in the fact that an election of any type like an examination may not always be the best form of assessing the superiority of any student or candidate over their peers.

In a contest, it is just necessary and compulsory that a winner must emerge which is the reasons there was emergence of the successful candidates as the firsts among equals.

It is apposite to remind those who have emerged as candidates of the need to use their victory as a potent political tool to consolidate the oneness and consolidation of the party in preparation for the major elections ahead where the efforts of all and sundry shall be needed for the success of all our candidates during the general election’ the party submitted in a statement made available to Team@orientactualmags.com by the state Chairman, Sooko Tajudeen Lawal.

The state APC has also emphasized the need for  party members to respect party supremacy.

‘Having witnessed some of the negative comments of some members of our party before the events that culminated into the successful holding of our House of Representatives and House of Assembly primary elections yesterday, it is however, expedient to remind the members of our party not to lose sight of the supremacy of the party in all their endeavours.

It wouldn’t augur well for any member(s) of our party to engage in the talking down of the party or any of our leaders because of their inability to emerge victorious during the primary elections.

Let’s do a self-examination with a view to ending such untowards actions and inactions which would not, in any way, add quality to the collective chances of constitutionally taking over the administration of the state in the next dispensation.

It is expedient to inform us all that there’s no victor, no vanquished in this sportsmanlike NASS primary elections as our party and the entire people of the state were  the overall winners of the elections’ the statement added.

The party also urged the candidates and former aspirants to warn their social media army to desist from writing or publishing offensive statements/comments/messages capable of causing acrimony, schism, disunity and crisis in the party as ‘there’s a constitutional mechanism to address this frontally’.

‘It is also necessary to appreciate the leaders of our party at all its levels, the executive arms of the party in the state and other numerous supporters of our party who sacrificed their comfort, time and resources in various ramifications to ensure the successful holding of the primary elections across the state.

As members of the same political party, you are all welcome back to the trenches where it is a general task for each and every one of us to contribute our quota for the success of our governorship candidate, Asiwaju Munirudeen Bola Oyebamiji AMBO, in the forthcoming 15th August, 2026 gubernatorial election’ the statement added-Team@orientactualmags.com  Do you have any information you wish to share with us?
