Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Oyo state, Chief Moses Alake Adeyemo has charged the newly inaugurated local government chairmen of the Party to prioritize loyalty to the broom party and fairness to all party faithful in their respective domains.
Adeyemo, a Former Deputy Governor of the State, made this call on Friday at the Inauguration ceremony for the new party helmsmen in 30 out of the 33 local government areas in the state. The swearing-in ceremony which took place at the APC State Secretariat located in Oke-Ado, Ibadan was witnessed by eminent party leaders and members as well as the supporters of the Party.
In his words; “We have reached a critical stage in our journey to the 2027 general elections and I want to use this medium to inform you that much is expected from you as the major handlers of our great Party at the grassroots level. As LG Party Chairmen, you must be loyal to the leadership of the Party and more importantly, President Bola Tinubu who is our pride of all times.
“The huge success which we recorded recently at the Ward, LGA and State Congresses is a testament to the fact that the APC has come of age in Oyo state. Relevant stakeholders have done a lot to return our Party to the path of peace, progress and all round victory at polls. Therefore, we all need to contribute our quota to the realization of the core objectives which centre around delivering over 80 per cent of the total votes from the state in the 2027 presidential election to President Tinubu and also reclaim the Agodi Government House.
“The Alhaji Fatai Ibikunle-led Local Organizing Committee for the Congresses has done a good job and I can assure everyone that the challenges which we have in two or three LGAs will be fully resolved in a matter of days. You (LGA Party Chairmen) need to swing into action immediately by mobilizing other Exco members to work with leaders, members and supporters of our great Party day and night to facilitate victory for all APC candidates in the next year polls.” Adeyemo stated.
