An All Progressives Congress (APC) governorship aspirant in Oyo State, Saheed Oladele, at the weekend, hosted party members, loyalists, and supporters to an Eid get-together in Ibadan, using the occasion to strengthen political ties and share his vision ahead of the 2027 elections. Eid-el-Fitr

Oladele, who is the Chairman/CEO, Erudite Group of Schools and the Baàmẹ̀kọ́ of Ibadanland, welcomed guests from across the state, describing the gathering as an opportunity to celebrate the festive season while fostering unity within the party.

He emphasised the importance of cohesion among APC stakeholders as preparations intensify for the next electoral cycle.

Oladele, while reflecting on the milestones that have shaped his political journey, said that his decision to venture into active politics was inspired during his Umrah pilgrimage in 2023 when he was urged to pray about becoming the next governor of Oyo State.

According to him, the call to leadership became more compelling one year later following encouragement from a prominent political figure who gave him five reasons he should represent the younger generation in governance.

He used the occasion to reassure Nigerians that President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has good intentions for Nigeria, while expressing confidence in the administration’s commitment to addressing the country’s challenges.

Oladele, therefore, said that the 2027 elections in Oyo State would signal a paradigm shift in the state’s political landscape.
