The Oyo State Ambassador for the Renewed Hope agenda has intensified efforts to unite all warring factions within the All Progressives Congress (APC) ahead of the 2027 general elections, with notable party leaders—Chief Adebayo Adelabu and Senator Teslim Folarin—now aligning with the broader reconciliation drive.
Speaking at the Enlarged Oyo APC Stakeholders’ Meeting on Monday, the Ambassador reaffirmed that the party’s success in 2027 depends on genuine unity among all tendencies, stressing that no electoral strategy can thrive without harmony. He noted that the collective guiding principle must remain: “One APC, One Tinubu Project.”
He emphasized that with key figures like Adelabu and Folarin committing to peace-building and coordinated mobilisation, the party is better positioned to heal divisions that weakened its 2023 outing. Their involvement, he added, signals a renewed chapter of cooperation across former rival groups.
The Ambassador also set a bold electoral target—delivering at least a 35 percent increase in total votes for President Bola Ahmed Tinubu in 2027—while ensuring that the party becomes more formidable heading into the 2027 governorship race.
He stressed the need to reactivate APC structures across the state, from the State Executive Council to all 33 Local Governments, 351 Wards, and every polling unit.
“Our grassroots must be vibrant, functional, and deeply connected to the people. With leaders like Adelabu and Folarin joining hands in unity, we are building the strength needed for a decisive victory in 2027,” he said.
He reaffirmed his commitment to working closely with all leaders, stakeholders, and the Renewed Hope Team to make Oyo APC a national model of disciplined, inclusive, and effective political mobilisation.
