Stakeholders of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in the Ogbomoso zone of Oyo State have declared their readiness to deliver overwhelming votes for President Bola Ahmed Tinubu and the party in the 2027 general elections.
The declaration was made on Thursday, January 8, 2026, at a high-powered unity rally held at Oja’gbo, Ogbomoso, where party leaders, serving and former office holders, and hundreds of supporters converged to reaffirm their loyalty to the APC and its leadership.
The rally, led by the Oyo State APC Chairman, Alhaji Olaide Abass, signalled renewed unity within the party and a strong determination to reclaim political dominance in the state.
Prominent figures in attendance included Senators Abdulfatai Buhari, Sarafadeen Alli, Yunus Akintunde, Ayoade Adeseun and Hosea Agboola; former Oyo State First Lady and Ambassador-designate, Mrs Florence Ajimobi; former Minister of Youth and Sports Development, Chief Sunday Dare; and members of the House of Representatives, including Hon. Akeem Adeyemi, Hon. Aderemi Oseni and Hon. Olaminuwonlo Alao-Akala.
Other notable APC chieftains from across the state were also present at the rally.
In his welcome address, Hon. Odebunmi described Ogbomoso as a historic stronghold of progressive politics and assured party members that the APC would intensify mobilisation and grassroots engagement ahead of the 2027 polls.
Former Oyo State APC Chairman, Chief Akin Oke, urged party members to set aside personal ambitions and work collectively for the success of the party, stressing that unity and discipline were critical to returning the APC to power in the state.
Delivering the keynote address, Senator Teslim Folarin, Oyo State Coordinator of the Renewed Hope Ambassadors, charged party members to take President Tinubu’s Renewed Hope Agenda to the grassroots, urging them to enlighten voters on the administration’s policies and programmes.
In her remarks, Mrs Florence Ajimobi appealed for sustained unity and peaceful coexistence within the party, expressing confidence that the APC remains the most formidable political force in Oyo State.
