Oke-Ogun APC Leaders Throw Weight Behind President Tinubu’s 2nd Term Bid, Laud Federal University’s Establishment in Okeho
The All Progressives Congress (APC) stakeholders from Iseyin, Itesiwaju, Kajola and Iwajowa Federal Constituency in Oke Ogun Zone of Oyo State have endorsed President Bola Ahmed Tinubu for a second term in the 2027 general election.
The decision was taken on Tuesday at a meeting presided over by a state leader of the APC and former Deputy Governor of Oyo State, Barrister Iyiola Oladokun, at Ado Awaye in Iseyin local government.
The party leaders also commended President Tinubu for the establishment of Federal University, Okeho, after many years of neglect of Oke Ogun by past federal administrations.
“We are grateful to President Bola Ahmed Tinubu for the university, the first federal university in the entire ten local governments in Oke-Ogun,” the APC chieftains added.
“We have endorsed Mr President for a second term because of his progressive stance in developing all parts of Nigeria simultaneously, including Oke-Ogun, a land that past governments have forgotten,” the APC leaders lamented.
The leaders also commended the efforts of Professor Gbadegesin, Senator Fatai Buhari, and Barrister Ahmed Raji for their contributions towards the establishment of Federal University, Okeho.
The progressive leaders also stressed that President Tinubu deserved re-election for, in less than two years, having taken steps to offset foreign loans, stabilise the economy, strengthen the Naira, increase states’ and local governments’ allocations, and curb herders’ salvaging of farmlands, killing of farmers and raping of their female family members, as well as his war against kidnappings and insurgency.
The APC chieftains appealed to saboteurs and sponsors of insurgencies to consider the overall interests of Nigeria as a sovereign nation and allow President Tinubu to perform. It also commended the spate of mass defection of Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) supporters to the APC in the ten local governments of Oke Ogun, in recognition of President Tinubu’s performance.
Meanwhile, the APC chieftains urged all Nigerians to support President Tinubu for the second term and vowed to take the campaign for President Tinubu’s re-election to a larger meeting of the party, scheduled for Igboho in Oke Ogun on June 30 this year.
The meeting, which will also be presided over by the former Deputy Governor, Chief Oladokun, is to be attended by stakeholders from the 10 local governments in Oke Ogun.
They include party chairmen and secretaries, women leaders, youth leaders, present and past members of the House of Representatives and State Assembly, past chiefs of staff, heads of service, commissioners, chairmen of boards of parastatals, past and present APC officers, and past local government chairmen and secretaries.
