President Bola Tinubu has charged leaders and stakeholders in Oyo State All Progressives Congress (APC) to work as a family with a view to reclaiming power in the state in 2027.
The president said the Pacesetter state was too important to be missing among the Progressive fold.
Speaking in Ibadan at the maiden edition of Lam Adesina Annual Lecture Series, the president, represented by minister of power, Chief Adebayo Adelabu, said to honour memory of late Lam Adesina, the Progressives in Oyo state must come together as one and win the battle come 2027, adding the State must return to the progressive fold.
According to him, Adesina was a champion of democracy who earned himself a place of pride in the nation’s history as a result of his exceptional bravery, rare commitment to the ideals of service to humanity and good governance.
Senate Leader, Sen. Opeyemi Bamidele, the guest lecturer represented by Senator Shuaib Salisu emphasised the need for Nigerians to rediscover a value system which would encourage citizens to be more responsible, morally upright and diligent as against the culture of indiscipline, avarice and corruption.
The lecture had as its theme: “Improving Nigeria’s governance, lessons from the past, strategies for the future.”
The event witnessed the convergence of hundreds of associates, supporters and family members of the late former Governor who died in 2012.
