We’re confident of reclaiming Oyo in 2027, says APC
The All Progressives Congress (APC) says reclaiming Oyo State in 2027 is no longer in doubt, as expressed by the people’s love for the party.
Teslim Folarin, a former Senate leader and the Oyo State ambassador for the “Renewed Hope,” stated this in Ibadan on Tuesday.
Mr Folarin declared this in Ibadan North Federal Constituency, during the grand finale of the 14‑federal‑constituency tour, organised by the “Renewed Hope” ambassadors.
According to him, the APC in Oyo State is now united and repositioned to take over the state government and ensure the reelection of President Bola Tinubu in 2027.
“Reclaiming Oyo State is no longer in doubt,” said Mr Folarin. “Our target is to boost APC’s fortunes by a greater percentage, which will require a lot of advocacy, particularly at the grassroots, which we are doing currently.”
“The crowd at today’s gathering clearly shows that things are getting better. It shows that people are very interested in the APC and President Tinubu’s administration. If we go to the polls from now, we will win Oyo State with a landslide victory,” he said.
The secretary of the APC Renewed Hope team in Oyo State, Afeez Bolaji, said all forces in the party had decided to work together out of love for the president.
“Every member has put aside individual ambition for now and decided to work together as a team,” he said.
Sharafadeen Alli (APC‑Oyo South) said the warm reception and feedback from the 14 federal constituencies visited during the tour showed the people’s readiness and expectation of an APC government in Oyo State.
According to him, the large turnout also expresses the people’s desire for the president to have a second term.
“We will ensure that APC rules across all elective positions at the federal, state, and local government levels,” he said.
On her part, the special assistant to the Minister of State for Agriculture, Omolara Busari, called for women’s involvement in politics to achieve balanced and efficient governance.
“Women can also do it better, and this is the time for women at all levels to come out en masse to seize the opportunity and make a change,” she said.
Ms Busari disclosed that the state women’s wing has mobilised to ensure victory for the president and other APC candidates during the 2027 general elections.
