The 2027 All Progressive Congress (APC) governorship aspirant in Oyo State Chief Adebayo Adelabu, has said only united party can defeat the ruling People’s Democratic Party (PDP) in the State.
The Minister urged members to set aside individual differences and embrace unity so that the party can come back to power in 2027.
Speaking during a special visit and consultation to leaders, stakeholders and members of the party in Ibarapa region, the Minister of Power called on members of the party to open a new chapter, adding that Oyo State is a progressive state and must return to progressive fold in 2027.
Ibarapa consists of seven towns, including Eruwa, Lanlate, Igboora, Idere, Ayete, Tapa and Igangan.
Adelabu said: :No party can compete with APC in this state, we are progressive, our party must remain one and united’.
Adelabu, while reacting to comment of party members in attendance, said the region will begin to see improvement in electricity supply because his Ministry has secured fund for completion of the three substation in the region.
According to him: ‘Electricity in Ibarapa region is a major concern to me, I will complete the three substation before the expiration of my tenure as Minister of Power. Work will start on the substation in the next one week.
‘I have given Solar powered street light to the region and I will find solution to bad roads in the region if I become the Governor of the state’.
Adelabu urged residents in the region to continue to support administration of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, saying Tinubu loves the nation and doesn’t want any pains for Nigerians.
Some members of the party pledged support towards the gubernatorial ambition of Adelabu, saying APC will win in the State come 2027.
