APC Is Ready To Participate, Win Local Govt Election In Oyo - Adelabu

01 April

Nigeria Minister of Power, Chief Adebayo Adelabu, has expressed the readiness of his political party, All Progressive Congress, APC, to participate in the forthcoming local government and councillorship election in Oyo State and emerge victorious.



He maintained that the party is ready and in high spirits to win the election slated for April 27, 2024, because the party has reunited its folds.



Adelabu spoke shortly after meeting party leaders, state executive council members, as well as the Chairmanship and councillorship candidates for the council poll at the State Party Secretariat, Oke Ado, Ibadan on Sunday.



He said the party has agreed to participate in the council election whether the Oyo State Independent Electoral Commission (OYSIEC) deploys the use of BVAS or not because it would be difficult to manipulate the election in this social media age.



He appealed to the party members in the state to remain united and focus on coming out victorious in the coming election.



According to him, “We are here to wish our members compliments of the season and also wish them a successful completion of the Ramadan fast.



“We also seized the opportunity to meet the party executive members and party leaders across the state and our candidates for the Chairmanship and Councillors positions for the coming local government elections in Oyo state.



“We discussed generally the progress of the party, now that the party has come together as one again. The party is back and we have what it takes to win any election in Oyo state today.



“We also seized the opportunity to appeal to all other members who are still out to come back to the fold of the party because when we are together, we are stronger as a party and I am so happy with the turnout at the meeting as well as the comment of the party leaders, from the Excos members, candidates and everybody.



“They are all elated and in good spirits, and they are poised to win any election in Oyo state today. I am confident that the only party in Oyo state today is APC.



“We also congratulated our Zonal leader in the person of Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu of Lagos state who is also with us as our Zonal leader to support us in this next election.



“And we spoke with our party chairmen at the local government levels to support the candidates for the next election to ensure we mobilise everybody and we do everything possible to ensure that we win the election, this April.”



“We have agreed to go for the election. We will not abandon or boycott the election. BVAS or not, APC will win local government elections in Oyo state.



“This is the day of social media, no one can do any hanky-panky. It must be a transparent and credible election. People are out there, waiting for APC to come out and we shall win”.
