By Olayiwola Ibrahim // Sixty-six local government secretaries and Public Relations Officers (PROs) of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Oyo State have praised APC governorship aspirant and Baàmẹ̀kọ́ of Ibadanland, Oloye Saheed Oladele, during a special event he hosted on Saturday in Bodija, Ibadan.
Welcoming the party stakeholders, Princess Funmilola Balogun commended them for honoring Oladele’s invitation, noting that the meeting aimed to foster familiarity and discuss ways to advance Oyo State through his governorship ambition.
Oladele expressed gratitude for the turnout of notable APC members from across the 33 local governments, emphasizing that party unity and cohesion are paramount to him.
He explained that his aspiration to govern Oyo State stems from a conviction that the state deserves better across all sectors.
Outlining his agenda, Oladele pledged to prioritize local government autonomy and education.
He criticized the current administration for starving LGAs of their statutory allocations, which he said has hindered grassroots development.
He vowed that under his leadership, all 33 local governments would develop evenly, with full control of their funds.
Fielding questions from party stakeholders, the Baàmẹ̀kọ́ of Ibadanland asserted that only the emergence of a credible and marketable governorship candidate from the APC would ensure victory for the party in Oyo State at the polls in 2027.
Responding on behalf of all the secretaries and PROs present, Mr. Maruf Lawal Adeyemi, party secretary in Ibadan North East local government, expressed that Baàmẹ̀kọ́ was the first gubernatorial aspirant in Oyo State’s history to accord them recognition by inviting them to a political consultation.
He said Baàmẹ̀kọ́ could be aptly called Koṣẹlẹri due to this novel idea.
The secretaries and PROs advised Oloye Oladele to continue engaging the top echelon of APC at the federal level, the apex leaders in the state, and grassroots leaders in the local government areas.
