The 2027 All Progressive Congress (APC) governorship aspirant in Oyo State, Chief Adebayo Adelabu, has harped on party unity saying it’s only when the party is united that the ruling People’s Democratic Party (PDP) in the State could be defeated.
The Minister urged members to set aside individual differences and embrace unity so that the party can come back to power in 2027. He spoke at a special visit and consultation with leaders, stakeholders and members of the party in Ibarapa zone on Saturday.
Adelabu described Oyo State as a progressive State adding that the State must return to the Progressives fold in 2027.
“No party can compete with APC in this state, we are progressive, our party must remain one and united’.
Adelabu, while reacting to the comment of party members in attendance, said the region will begin to see improvement in electricity supply because his Ministry has secured funds for completion of the three substations in the region.
According to him: ‘Electricity in Ibarapa region is a major concern to me, I will complete the three substations before the expiration of my tenure as Minister of Power. Work will start on the substation in the next one week.
‘I have given Solar powered street light to the region and I will find solution to bad roads in the region if I become the Governor of the state’.
Adelabu urged residents in the region to continue to support the administration of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, saying Tinubu loves the nation and doesn’t want pain for Nigerians.
Some members of the party pledged support towards the gubernatorial ambition of Adelabu, saying APC will win in the State come 2027.
Ibarapa zone consists of seven towns — Eruwa, Lanlate, Igboora, Idere, Ayete, Tapa and Igangan.
