…Says APC ‘ll take over Oyo
National Chairman of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), Abdullahi Umar Ganduje, has said that the 2027 general elections is a task that must be done for the re-election of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu.
The APC National Chairman also vowed that his party will defeat the ruling Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) Oyo state come 2027.
Speaking Wednesday during a courtesy visit you the Oyo state APC stakeholders led by the Minister of Power, Adebayo Adelabu, Ganduje tasked the state chapter to unite the task of delivering President Tinubu’s re-election and take over power in Oyo state.
Other stakeholders from Oyo in attendance including Senators, House Representatives members, acting state chairman and other party childrens.
According to Ganduje, “Oyo State is part of our blueprint which we call political party homogeneity. We have been looking for unity and uniformity in Oyo State. Now we are seeing elements of unity and uniformity.
“We are concerned about the unity of Oyo State and the unity of Nigeria and the homogeneity of the South West because our 2027 is a task that must be done.”
The National Chairman also urged the Oyo leaders to organise a mega stakeholders meeting in Ibadan that will involve all the members of the party to the point that the opposition will be intimated.
“We made it clear when we came on board that it will not be business as usual. Political parties in developing countries are always active during election time.
“We want the party to be active in the State throughout the year. We want your party offices from the ward, to the Local Government levels be physically habitable and functionally operational by having constant meetings.
“I have already told you our blueprint about President Bola Tinubu. Coming home as the son of the soil, he cannot afford to see a beautiful fowl with a head of the Vulture and Oyo State political party homogeneity is the answer.
“Anybody who is patriotic about the unity of this country, anybody in love with this country, should be happy that your geopolitical zone has produced the president.”
Speaking earlier, the Power Minister, Adebayo Adebayo, told the National Chairman that the state chapter is now a united party.
Adelabu said division within the party led to the electoral lost in 2019 and 2023.
He said: “I want to say that what our distinguished Senator Yunus Akintunde mentioned and what my dear brother Prince Akingbade Yemi mentioned is gladdening to our hearts. We are happy that for the first time, after the last elections, Oyo APC can now speak with one voice.
“There is no faction in Oyo State APC again and we are more determined than ever before to take over the governance in Oyo State.
“I believe we lost the last two elections, not to non-popularity of the party in the states or due to lack of effort on our part. But it is division. A house that is divided against itself will surely fail. Oyo State is an APC State. We all know that.”
