Government Political Organization

The Nigeria — Osun State caucus of the House of Representatives has disowned the governorship primary election allegedly conducted in Nigeria — Osun State under the influence of Nigeria — Oyo State Governor Seyi Makinde. The caucus, comprising six Nigeria — People s Democratic Party federal lawmakers, accused Seyi Makinde of political brigandage and importing 'thugs and political jobbers' from Nigeria — Oyo State to orchestrate a fraudulent primary. They unequivocally rejected the outcome, which declared Adebayo Adedamola Fryo as the Nigeria — People s Democratic Party candidate for the 2026 elections, warning him against parading himself as such. The lawmakers called on the Nigeria — Independent National Electoral Commission to discard the 'phoney results' and adhere strictly to the Nigeria — People s Democratic Party Constitution and the Electoral Act in selecting candidates. They expressed disappointment in Seyi Makinde's actions, stating that his 'blind ambition and political immaturity' are destabilizing the political atmosphere in Nigeria — Osun State.
