Top leaders of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Oyo State have vowed to mobilise a record number of votes for President Bola Tinubu in the 2027 general election.

The tour held on Monday covered two federal constituencies of Ibadan North-East/Ibadan South-East, and Ibadan North-West/Ibadan South-West.
It was observed that the move could have signalled an early and coordinated consolidation of APC structures across the state.
The tour, led by prominent APC leaders, including former First Lady of Oyo State, Florence Ajimobi; Oyo State Ambassador for Renewed Hope, Senator Teslim Kolawole Folarin; Minister of Power, Chief Adebayo Adelabu; as well as Senators Sharafadeen Alli (Oyo South), Abdulfatai Buhari (Oyo North), and Yunus Akintunde. (Oyo Central), aimed to strengthen internal cohesion, rebuild confidence within party structures, and lay a solid foundation for early and disciplined mobilisation ahead of the 2027 polls.
Senator Folarin, in his address, emphasised the importance of Ibadan, the political nerve centre of the South-West, in delivering votes for Tinubu.
“Oyo State proved its strength in 2023 by giving Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu the highest differential votes nationwide. In 2027, we are ready to raise the bar and deliver record votes for Mr President,” he said.
Folarin, who listed the Tinubu administration’s reform agenda, stressed that effective communication of the reforms at the grassroots level would be critical to winning public understanding and sustained support.
