Oyo APC Aspirants Unite for 2027 Governorship Race

On a recent date, Oyo APC governorship aspirants gathered at the Ikoyi residence of Florence Ajimobi, Nigeria's ambassador-designate to Austria, to strategize for the 2027 governorship race. The meeting aimed to consolidate unity within the party and prevent internal crises that could weaken electoral chances.

Influential APC figures in attendance included Teslim Folarin, Aderemi Olaniyan, Abdulfatai Buhari, and Adebayo Adelabu, among others. The aspirants reportedly resolved to remain loyal to candidates endorsed by President Bola Tinubu, while also demanding a transparent and inclusive selection process.

The discussions highlighted the importance of presenting a united front, especially given the party's previous electoral challenges in 2023. The meeting concluded with an agreement to support whoever President Tinubu suggests as the candidate, emphasizing the need for credible leadership to strengthen the party's appeal to voters.
