Osun Senator backs Tinubu for APC ticket after losing primary

In the wake of the All Progressives Congress (APC) primaries, Senator Olubiyi Fadeyi, representing Osun Central, has stepped forward to quell any potential discord, urging party faithful to rally behind President Bola Tinubu for the upcoming presidential primary. His message is a clear call for unity and loyalty, particularly significant as he himself did not secure a re-election ticket for 2027.

Fadeyi's statement, released after his defeat in the senatorial primary, underscores a broader commitment to the party's stability and the President's leadership. By describing Tinubu as a "visionary leader" whose commitment inspires confidence, Fadeyi aims to reinforce the party's core principles and long-term objectives. This is a crucial moment for the APC, and calls for solidarity from prominent figures like Fadeyi are essential to maintaining a cohesive front.

“

Now is the time to demonstrate our loyalty to the party and our belief in the leadership of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu. I call on all APC faithfuls to stand firm, remain committed, and support his candidacy for the progress and stability of our great nation.

His appeal to delegates and party members to vote en masse for President Tinubu is not just about securing a nomination; it's about reaffirming the party's direction and its capacity to govern effectively. Fadeyi's perspective, shaped by his own electoral experience, highlights the importance of collective responsibility in achieving national progress and stability. The senator's proactive stance seeks to ensure that the APC emerges from the primary stronger and more united, ready to continue its mandate.

From our vantage point, Senator Fadeyi's message is a vital reminder that internal party processes, while sometimes challenging, must ultimately serve the larger goal of national development. His willingness to publicly support the President, despite his personal setback, speaks volumes about the internal dynamics and the emphasis placed on party cohesion within the APC. This narrative of unity and forward-looking leadership is central to the party's strategy as it navigates the political landscape.

Describing Tinubu “as a visionary leader whose commitment to national development, democratic values, and progressive governance has continued to inspire confidence across the country,” Fadeyi also said supporting the President’s candidacy in the APC primary, “is not only a strategic decision but also a reaffirmation of the party’s core principles and long-term goals.”
