Oyo APC chieftains assure members of grievance resolution, eye 2027 victory

Leaders of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Oyo State have pledged to address all concerns and complaints from party members, aiming to unite the party for victory in the 2027 general elections. Senators Olufemi Lanlehin and Prof. Taoreed Adedoja, who accepted their roles as Chairman and Co-chairman of the Oyo APC Reconciliation Committee, assured that no aggrieved aspirant would be sidelined during the ongoing reconciliation efforts.

The committee's inauguration was lauded by the State Executive Committee, led by Chief Moses Adeyemo, who urged members to use their experience to resolve grievances stemming from recent congresses and primaries. Adeyemo emphasized the need for the APC to approach the upcoming elections as a united and formidable force.

“

We are not oblivious of the fact that the outcome of the last congresses, which produced executive committee members for the party at all levels, as well as the recent primaries which produced candidates for the 2027 elections, left in their wake some grievances among certain members and stakeholders, but we do not want this to snowball into an intractable crisis capable of undermining our chances at the polls.

"We are not oblivious of the fact that the outcome of the last congresses... as well as the recent primaries... left in their wake some grievances among certain members and stakeholders," Adeyemo stated. He added, "but we do not want this to snowball into an intractable crisis capable of undermining our chances at the polls."

“

On our part, we are ready to dialogue with the aggrieved members and see what we can do to assuage their feelings. With the calibre of people in this committee, we have no doubt that you will do a thorough job and come up with the desired results within the next few weeks because we want absolute peace and unity to reign in Oyo APC before, during and after the forthcoming polls.

The reconciliation committee members, including Senators Brimo Yusuf and Hosea Agboola, along with other party stalwarts, are tasked with assuaging the feelings of aggrieved members. The party leadership expressed confidence in the committee's ability to achieve desired results within weeks, prioritizing peace and unity within the Oyo APC.

The APC acknowledges its strong position in Nigerian politics, with Adeyemo noting, "agitations are loud because the APC remains the party to beat in any election in the country." However, the party is determined not to take anything for granted, setting a target of delivering one million votes for President Bola Tinubu and reclaiming the Agodi Government House in the next gubernatorial election. Meanwhile, APC members in Oluyole Local Government Area recently protested, urging the state leadership to affirm Abiodun Gbolagade as the winner of the Oluyole Federal Constituency primary.

“

It is understood that agitations are loud because the APC remains the party to beat in any election in the country, but we do not want to take anything for granted at this moment since we have our eyes on delivering one million votes to President Bola Tinubu and also returning to the Agodi Government House next year.
