Critical stakeholders of the Oyo State All Progressives Congress (APC) have restated their determination to continue supporting the administration of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu against all odds.
The chapter also expressed optimism that efforts being put in place by the Federal Government to tackle current economic challenges would soon yield desired results.
This submission formed the core of the address delivered by the leaders of the Oyo APC delegation, which paid a courtesy visit to the party’s National Chairman, Dr. Abdullahi Ganduje, and members of the National Working Committee (NWC) at the Abuja national secretariat.
The 25-man delegation led by the state chairman, Isaac Omodewu, included three former deputy governors, members of the state working committee, serving and former federal lawmakers among others.
Speaking on behalf of the delegation, the Director General of the APC Presidential and Governorship Election Campaign Council in Oyo State, Dr. Isiaka Kolawole, stated that the team was in Abuja to formally convey a message of appreciation to the national chairman.
, for visiting the Oyo State chapter, a few weeks back and to assure the party’s national leadership of unflinching support for the new administration of Tinubu.
“You would recall that Oyo was second to Kano State as we had the largest population of delegates at the last APC presidential primary and this had made us a beautiful bride to all the presidential aspirants at that time. Nevertheless, we delivered 97 per cent of our delegate votes to Asiwaju Bola Tinubu because we realised he stood tall among the aspirants then.
“We then capped it up with a record of emerging the fourth, out of the 36 states and the FCT, where APC had the majority votes at the February 25 Presidential Election with 449, 884 votes. This is no mean feat by all standards, but today some selfish individuals are trying to rewrite history just to score cheap political points.
“Even though we are not here to exhibit any sense of entitlement or lodge any complaint because we have absolute confidence in Mr. President, it is important we tell our story with a view to setting the record straight as we do not want the sacrifices of genuine party members to go unrewarded.”
In his response, Ganduje thanked the delegation for the visit, promising necessary actions would be taken to address all the issues raised.
