Oyo State chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC) has disclosed its readiness to work for the reelection of President Bola Tinubu in 2027.
The party said the decision was informed by the “efficacy of the Renewed Hope Agenda and the promises which his leadership holds for Nigeria, Nigerians and the African continent”.
The declaration was the highpoint of the stakeholders’ meeting on Tuesday comprising State Executive Committee members and the APC Chairmen across 33 local government councils held at the Oke-Ado, Ibadan state secretariat of the party.
Addressing journalists after the meeting, state chairman of the APC, Alhaji Olayide Abas, posited that it was necessary for the stakeholders to acknowledge the milestone reached by the current administration of President Tinubu in less than two years.
“Those of us who knew the antecedent of our dear President might not be surprised that he has approached governance with such an enormous degree of courage, determination and patriotism, but it is imperative that we make public our satisfaction and optimism if only to encourage him.
“It is on this note that stakeholders of the party who attended the extended executive committee meeting today decided to announce our readiness to have President Tinubu in the office as the nation’s number one man beyond 2027.
“He has shown good understanding of the challenges facing the country in addition to the possession of the blueprint to tackle them and as a result of this, Nigerians need to give him enough time to complete the enormous task of repositioning the country,” Abas said.
He added that the recent gale of defections by members of the opposition parties into the ruling party is a pointer that “many discerning Nigerians are ready to key into the Renewed Hope Agenda of the President by shunning primordial sentiments and selfish interests to joining the APC which they see as the only vehicle of national rebirth and holistic development.” Adding, “To this end, Oyo APC cannot afford to be at the back seat”.
The Chairman’s position was corroborated by the party’s Secretary, Alh. Tajudeen Olanite; the Publicity Secretary, Olawale Sadare; Woman Leader, Alhaja Tinuade Adigun and Youth Leader, Prince John Aremu.
They all expressed their readiness to work for the success of the Tinubu-led administration while they also praised the APC National Chairman, Dr. Abdullahi Ganduje and his team for “building a stronger and more formidable APC across the country.”
