Oyo State APC, which lost to the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in the 2019 and 2023 elections, is now its primary focus for resurgence.

President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has issued a rallying call to All Progressives Congress (APC) leaders in Oyo State, urging them to unite in their efforts to reclaim the state from the opposition in the 2027 elections.

Represented by Minister of Power, Adebayo Adelabu, Tinubu expressed his desire to see Oyo State return to what he termed the “progressive fold” under APC leadership.

“Oyo is too important to be missing among the progressive states,” Tinubu stressed, highlighting the state’s significance to APC’s broader regional and national goals.

This call to action was made during the inaugural Lam Adesina annual lecture, held in Ibadan, with political leaders, traditional rulers, and key APC figures in attendance.

In a speech that resonated strongly with party members, Adelabu outlined Tinubu’s vision, noting that, “To honour [former governor] Lam Adesina’s legacy, Progressives in Oyo State must come together as one. You all must fight the fight and win the battle. Come 2027, Oyo State must return to the progressive fold.”

The event, named after Lam Adesina, the former Oyo governor known for championing democratic ideals, gathered prominent figures including former Ekiti State Governors Adeniyi Adebayo and Kayode Fayemi, Senators Teslim Folarin and Abdulfatai Buhari, and the APC Chairman of Oyo State, Alhaji Olayide Abas.
