Stakeholders of the All Progressives Congress APC in the four local government councils of Oyo Federal Constituency have indicated their resolve to key into the efforts of the acting chairman of the APC in the state, Alhaji Olayide Abas, with a view to repositioning the Party and making it to return to power in 2027.

The stakeholders which comprised leaders, stalwarts, women and youth representatives were drawn from Afijio, Atiba, Oyo East and Oyo West local government councils. The visiting delegation was led to the Oke-Ado, Ibadan State Secretariat of the APC by the Zonal Leader, Chief Christopher Ajibade.

In his address, Chief Ajibade extolled the virtues of the acting chairman who he described as a thorough-bred progressive and an experienced political administrator whose leadership would benefit the APC in the state in no small measures. “We have come here today not only to identify with our new state chairman but also to convey the message of loyalty to his leadership from all the party faithful in Oyo Federal Constituency.

“There is no doubt about the popularity of the APC in our zone even as we are proud to say here that the two federal lawmakers who hail from our zone (Sen. Yunus Akintunde and Hon. Akeem Adeyemi) are doing extremely well to the admiration of their respective constituents. The performances of the duo are enough to attract more people to our fold as fresh members. Most people at the grassroots are now convinced that it is only the APC that can give them responsive and responsible political servants. We shall leverage on this to mobilize support for the party in future polls.” Chief Ajibade said.

Alhaji Abas, on his response, expressed his readiness to partner all APC stakeholders in the state to achieve the aim of returning the broom party to the status of strong, cohesive and election-winning political party in the state. “We have initiated plans to bring every relevant person and stakeholder into the fold and we are elated at the results we have got so far. Very soon, we will begin the tour of all the zones in the state and this would consolidate the recent gains which we have recorded in a very short period.” He stated.

Other state executive committee members of the Oyo APC who received the delegation were; Alh. Tajudeen Olanite, Alhaji Olalekan Busari, Hon. Joshua Oyebamiji, Olawale Sadare, Mrs Taiwo Moteleola, Hon. John Aremu and Chief Mukaila Shittu while members of the delegation also included; Hon. Stephen Ojedele, Alh. Rasaki Babalola, Chief Dijo Ogundiran, Alh. Isiaka Babatunde, Alh. Rasaki Ajibike, Alh. Kareem Kolawole, Mr. Ademola Adelowo as well as some women and youth representatives.
