The All Progressives Congress APC in Oyo state has disclosed that the electoral victory of its candidates in the 2027 general elections was certain and non-negotiable as indications emerged on Monday that various reconciliation efforts being made by the leadership of the Party have begun to yield positive results.

What political watchers described as icing on the cake of reconciliation was experienced on Monday when former Senate Leader and the governorship candidate of the APC in the 2023 poll, Senator Teslim Folarin, broke his silence and directed his supporters to join him in working with other stakeholders to deliver Oyo state to the APC in 2027.

In a statement issued on Tuesday and made available to journalists in Ibadan by its Publicity Secretary, Olawale Sadare, Oyo APC attributed to success of its efforts to achieve total reconciliation among party stakeholders to the commitment, passion and thoughtfulness of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu “who has again brought his unique leadership competence, character and experience to bear in calming all the frayed nerves in our great Party.

“Our eyes have been on the ball as our main goal is about winning, at least, a million votes for President Tinubu in the January poll and also making sure that all the candidates of APC are returned elected in the 2027 general elections. Fortunately, our chances just got better with the attainment of a high level of success in our desire to bring about total unity and peace to the progressive family in the Pacesetters State.”

“Having acknowledged the inevitability of post primary crisis, we moved ahead of time to float different committees of notable stakeholders and credible persons to drive our reconciliation campaign and we were able to get the desired results.”

“But the best results were achieved through the intervention of our national leader, President Bola Tinubu who has been able to wade in and convince some aggrieved gladiators on the need to bury the hatchet and work for APC success at the poll.”

“With the like of Sen. Teslim Folarin, Sen. Abdulfatai Buhari and Chief Adebayo Adelabu fully on board, we are good to go as our total victory is assured this time. Nevertheless, we are not going to rest on our oars in our quest to have everyone on board.”

“The reconciliation efforts shall continue even as our candidates continue to engage the electorate and sell the Renewed Hope Agenda as well as the Oyo AHEAD Project of Sen. Sarafadeen Alli to the citizenry.” Sadare concluded.
