The leadership of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Ibadan Outer City zone of Oyo State has charged stakeholders in the party to leverage on the goals attained in the build-up to the last local government election to guarantee a resounding success in the 2027 general elections.
A forum of leaders and key stakeholders from the zone, which met on Thursday at the New Ife Road Secretariat of the APC in Egbeda Local Government Area of the state, said it was to discuss important issues relating to the progress of ‘the broom party’ and its members. The zone, which comprises Akinyele, Egbeda, Ido, Lagelu, Oluyole and Ona-Ara local government areas, were well represented at the meeting.
In a Communique issued at the meeting and signed by the duo of Alhaji Kamorudeen Ajisafe, JP (chairman) and Bashorun Bilyamin Ogundele, (secretary), the forum expressed its appreciation to the good people of the state “who had anticipated a free and fair conduct of the botched April 27, 2024 election by OYSIEC and trooped out to elect the candidates of the APC, but got disenfranchised by some anti-democratic elements who later reeled out cooked results in favour of the ruling Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
“The forum saluted the courage and commitment of the Isaac Omodewu-led State Executive Committee as well as all critical stakeholders and members of the Technical Committee set up for the purpose of the anticipated local government election which was later messed up.
“More importantly, it is worthwhile to thump up all the APC candidates at the said election for showing to the whole world that they were reliable and committed patriots who would stop at nothing to assist the cause of democracy and good governance for the benefit of the society.
“The forum promises to work together with other relevant stakeholders to ensure that the gains of internal cohesion, unity and togetherness achieved so far are improved upon.
“We shall reach out to everyone who matters as we are poised to leave no stone unturned to put a stop to the maladministration of the PDP in Oyo state in 2027, as we cannot afford to disappoint the majority of the people of the state who have been direct or indirect victims of lies and deceit of the Makinde.”
Highlights of the meeting included goodwill messages sent in by Senator Yunus, Hon. Akin Alabi and Hon. (Engr.) Aderemi Oseni who represented good fractions of the zone in the National Assembly, Abuja, while situation reports were also given by the party chairmen and State Executive Committee members from all the six local government areas in the zone.
Some of the party bigwigs present at the meeting are Alhaji Rasaki Akilapa, Alh. Sule Suara-Elegbeda, Hon. Dauda Lawal, Alh. Yinka Folarin, Hon. Ibrahim Bolomope, Hon. Murphy Adigun-Hammed, Barr. Yemi Aderibigbe, Dr. Joshua Oyebamiji, Hon. Wahab Oladejo, Prof. David Adeyemi, Hon. Adesina Adeagbo, Alh. Abiola Ambali, Hon. Femi Akintunde, Alh. Olalekan Busari, Hon. Olawale Sadare, Pastor Lekan Esho, Mrs. Abiola Olaniran, among others.
