Confusion Trails Viral APC Ogun West Aspirants List as Noimot Salako-Oyedele’s Name Sparks Reactions

Political conversations intensified across Ogun State on Monday following the circulation of an alleged APC Ogun West Senatorial aspirants list which reportedly excluded Ogun State Deputy Governor, Engr. Noimot Salako-Oyedele.

The development has triggered reactions among party supporters and political observers, especially as the Deputy Governor had publicly declared interest in the race, purchased nomination forms, and recently carried out consultations across Ogun West.

Although the authenticity of the circulating list remains unconfirmed, the omission of Salako-Oyedele’s name has generated debate online, with many supporters questioning the situation and calling for official clarification from the party.

The Deputy Governor, regarded as one of the prominent female aspirants in the race, had gained attention in recent weeks over growing stakeholder engagements and conversations around women’s inclusion in political leadership.

As of the time of this report, the APC has not officially released any statement confirming or denying the viral list.

Political analysts say the situation could further fuel tension within party circles if not properly addressed ahead of the 2027 elections.
