The governorship candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Oyo State, Senator Sharafadeen Alli, has appointed grassroots politician and legal practitioner, Asiwaju (Barrister) Yemi Aderibigbe, as the Director-General of his campaign council.

The appointment was announced in a statement personally signed by Senator Alli on Tuesday and made available to journalists in Ibadan.

According to Alli, Aderibigbe’s appointment was informed by his sterling reputation as a selfless political leader with a long-standing record of people-centred leadership and grassroots mobilisation.

The APC governorship candidate described Aderibigbe as a politician who had remained firmly connected to the grassroots since serving as Chairman of Akinyele Local Government Area, noting that his commitment to the welfare of ordinary people has remained unwavering.

Alli, who currently represents Oyo South Senatorial District in the Senate, urged the new campaign Director-General to deploy his vast experience, proven leadership credentials and deep understanding of Oyo State politics in coordinating the party’s campaign activities.

“Asiwaju Yemi Aderibigbe is one of the pillars of progressive politics in our dear state. He has made immense contributions to the political, social and economic development of Oyo State.

“He is a loyal party leader and bridge-builder whose unwavering commitment to party development and the mentoring of younger politicians remain exemplary.

“We have chosen him to lead, organize and mobilise members of our great party and the people of the state to work for the success of the APC at the polls.

“As an experienced administrator with impeccable record of public service and committed progressive, I am confident Aderibigbe’s leadership qualities would strengthen our party’s campaign.

“As a team player, I have no doubt that he will excel in this assignment by effectively coordinating the campaign council alongside other distinguished leaders and members of our great party,” Alli said.

Aderibigbe previously served as chairman of Akinyele Local Government Area and later as Special Adviser on Transport during the administration of the late Governor Abiola Ajimobi.
