OYO: 2023 LP Guber Candidate, Tawfiq Akinwale Joins APC.
Honourable Tawfiq Tayo Akinwale, the 2023 governorship candidate of the Labour Party in Oyo state, has defected to the All Progressives Congress (APC), in the State.
According to a news release issued by Samuel Abodunrin, the Oyo Labour Party Guber Standardbearer’s press secretary, Akinwale joined APC to advance progressive vision for the pacesetter state.
Abodunrin stated that,”Following a resolute campaign under the Labour Party(LP) in the March 2023 Governorship elections in Oyo State, Tawfiq Tayo Akinwale, a dedicated advocate for progress and good governance, has made the decision to join the All Progressives Congress(APC). This move comes after a thorough evaluation of the current political landscape, where it became evident that LP’s leadership lacked the necessary vision, direction, and cohesion to bring about the much-needed transformation in Oyo State and by extension Nigeria.
“In the face of uncoordinated efforts and a lack of focus within the Labour Party, Tawfiq Tayo believes that aligning with the All Progressives Congress will provide the ideal platform to effectively address the challenges facing Oyo State as an opposition and to champion a progressive agenda for the betterment of its citizens.
“Throughout my campaign, I witnessed the earnest desire of the people of Oyo State for positive change and meaningful development,” said Tawfiq Tayo Akinwale.
“It became increasingly apparent that such change could not be effectively achieved under the current leadership of the Labour Party in the State. Therefore, after careful consideration, I have decided to join the All Progressives Congress, a party that shares my commitment to progress, unity, and purposeful leadership.”
“The All Progressives Congress has consistently assured Nigerians of its dedication to good governance, socioeconomic development, and the empowerment of its citizens. With a solid track record of successful leaders who have implemented policies and initiatives at both the national and state levels, APC remains committed to uplifting the lives of ordinary Nigerians even in the face of the current yearnings of Nigerians which will soon be converted to laughter and joy.
“As a formidable political force, the APC will offer a unique opportunity for Tawfiq Tayo Akinwale to collaborate with like-minded individuals, passionate about Oyo State’s development, and to work towards achieving the aspirations and dreams of the people.
“Tawfiq Tayo Akinwale’s decision to join the APC underscores his unwavering commitment to the betterment of Oyo State and Nigeria. By becoming a member of the APC, Akinwale is taking a significant step towards ensuring the realization of a prosperous, inclusive, and vibrant Oyo State that empowers its citizens and harnesses its full potential.
“In his new political home, Akinwale will continue to advocate for policies and programs aimed at improving infrastructure, healthcare, education, agriculture, and job creation in Oyo State. With a renewed sense of purpose and determination, Tawfiq Tayo Akinwale is ready to contribute positively to the progress of the APC and Oyo State as a whole.
“As Tawfiq Tayo Akinwale’s Press Secretary, I would like to affirm that this decision is not taken lightly and is rooted in the best interests of the people of Oyo State. We sincerely hope that all well-meaning citizens will join us in supporting this important step towards a brighter future for Oyo State.
