2027: APC Chieftain Urges Osun Stakeholders to Unite for Tinubu’s Re-election
An All Progressives Congress chieftain in Osun State, Olatunbosun Oyintiloye, has urged political leaders and stakeholders supporting President Bola Tinubu’s re-election bid to set aside personal interests and disagreements ahead of the 2027 general elections.
Oyintiloye, a former lawmaker, made the appeal while speaking with journalists in Osogbo on Sunday, saying unity among members of the political alliance was essential to securing victory for Tinubu in the state.
He also called for cooperation between the APC and Governor Ademola Adeleke, who he said had been appointed coordinator of the Presidential Campaign Council in Osun.
According to him, the alliance is targeting 1.5 million votes for Tinubu in the state, a goal he said would require political stakeholders to work together.
“Following Adeleke’s appointment as coordinator of the Presidential Campaign Council in the state, all stakeholders in the coalition must set aside personal interests and work towards Tinubu’s victory,” he said.
Oyintiloye urged members of the alliance to recognise one another’s political influence and contributions, stressing that mutual respect was necessary for the partnership to succeed.
He also called on the alliance’s leadership to develop a clear mobilisation strategy, beginning at polling-unit and ward levels and extending to local government areas and the state.
He urged stakeholders to involve women, youths, traditional rulers, religious leaders, market associations, artisans, farmers and other community groups in the mobilisation efforts.
Describing the arrangement involving the APC, Peoples Democratic Party and Accord Party as a strategic alliance, Oyintiloye said the parties should prioritise their shared objective over individual political ambitions.
He further urged stakeholders to support APC candidates contesting National and State Assembly seats in the forthcoming elections.
Oyintiloye expressed confidence that Tinubu could secure the targeted votes in Osun if members of the alliance embraced unity, inclusiveness and mutual respect.
