He explained that five delegates emerged from each of the 332 wards, making a total of 1,660 who will decide the party’s governorship candidate for the 2026 election.
“We have received the results of all the delegate congress coordinators across the 30 Local Government Areas and the Ife-East Area Office, Modakeke,” he said. “With the results before us, five delegates have been elected in each of the 332 wards across the state. These 1,660 delegates will vote in the upcoming governorship primary.”
He added that the exercise complied with the APC Constitution and the Electoral Act, describing the process as peaceful and hitch-free.

By the grace of Almighty God, we conducted the exercise peacefully and successfully without any issues,” Dange stated.
According to him, all reports received from coordinators indicated that the congress was “rancour-free,” with smooth conduct across all wards.
