Hon. Umar Farouk Arisekola-Alao, a critical stakeholder in Ibadan North Federal Constituency and former Commissioner for Youth and Sports in Oyo State, has congratulated the Renewed Hope Ambassadors for their roles in strengthening unity within the All Progressives Congress across Oyo State, while also commending the leadership of the party in Ibadan North Federal Constituency.

In a statement, Arisekola-Alao praised the Renewed Hope Ambassadors jointly led by the former First Lady of Oyo State, Chief (Mrs) Florence Ajimobi, alongside the Oyo State Renewed Hope Ambassadors, Senator Teslim Folarin, and other key stakeholders across the state’s geopolitical zones. He noted that their coordinated engagements and consultations contributed significantly to fostering cohesion and shared purpose within the party.

“The Renewed Hope Ambassadors have shown commitment and inclusiveness in their engagements across the state. Their efforts have helped to reinforce unity and strengthen internal understanding within the party at a critical time.”

He specifically commended the APC leadership in Ibadan North Federal Constituency for organising a befitting grand finale of the Oyo State APC Unity Rally, which brought to a close the series of open stakeholders’ meetings held across the state. According to him, the conduct of the rally reflected organisation, discipline, and a clear commitment to party unity.

“The leadership of the APC in Ibadan North deserves recognition for the orderly and inclusive manner in which the Unity Rally was concluded. Their role in hosting and coordinating the grand finale demonstrated capacity, commitment, and respect for collective decision-making.”

Arisekola-Alao, who is a Federal House of Representatives aspirant for Ibadan North Federal Constituency in 2027, urged party leaders and members across Oyo State to sustain the gains recorded from the rally, particularly the renewed emphasis on unity and collaboration as maintaining a united front remains essential for the APC in Oyo State to mobilise effectively ahead of the 2027 general elections, including working towards strong electoral outcomes for President Bola Ahmed Tinubu and the party at all levels.

Arisekola-Alao reaffirmed his commitment to constructive engagement within the party and encouraged continued cooperation among stakeholders to strengthen the APC’s position across the state.
