APC GOVERNORSHIP ASPIRANT SAHEED OLADELE HOSTS 33 LOCAL GOVERNMENT CHAIRMAN, CALLS FOR UNITY
By Olayiwola Ibrahim / Lagos // In a bid to restore cohesion within the All Progressives Congress APC in Oyo State, governorship aspirant Oloye Saheed Oladele hosted all 33 local government chairmen of the party in Bodija, Ibadan, on Saturday.
This unprecedented gathering, which marked the first time all APC chairmen across the state met in full, aimed to address internal divisions and strengthen the party.
Oladele, who is also the Baameko of Ibadanland, emphasized the need to mend internal cracks, citing the party’s recent loss in the Ibadan North Federal Constituency by-election as a result of disunity.
He noted that the APC has the potential to defeat the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in future elections but must first prioritize unity.
While calling for unity amidst the Chairmen, Oladele stressed that party unity is more important than any aspirant’s ambition, deliberately avoiding setting up a personal political structure despite his large support base.
He urged the APC to field a young, neutral, and widely acceptable candidate for the 2027 governorship election.
The local government chairmen affirmed their commitment to strengthening the party, emphasizing that the APC must not enter the 2027 polls divided.
Ibadan North APC Chairman, Alhaji Taofeek Olayiwola, described the turnout as a sign that Oladele’s ambition has divine backing.
The chairmen commended Oladele’s unifying efforts and offered prayers for his success in the coming race.
