All  Progressives Congress stakeholders  from  Iseyin, Itesiwaju, Kajola and Iwajowa federal constituency, Oke Ogun, Oyo State, have endorsed President  Bola Tinubu, for a second term ahead of the 2027 general election.

The decision was taken on Tuesday at a meeting, presided over by the state leader of the APC and former Deputy Governor of Oyo State, Iyiola Oladokun, at Ado Awaye, in Iseyin Local  Government.

The party leaders also commended Tinubu for the establishment of Federal  University, Okeho, after many years of neglect of Oke Ogun by past administrations.

He said: “We are grateful to President Bola Ahmed Tinubu for the University, the first federal  institution in the entire 10 local governments in Oke Ogun.

“We have endorsed him for a second term because of his progressive stance in developing  parts of Nigeria, simultaneously, including  Oke Ogun,  a land that past governments have forgotten.”

They also commended the efforts of Prof. Gbadegesin, Senator Fatai Buhari, and Mr. Ahmed Raji, for their contributions towards the establishment of Federal University,  Okeho.

According to the leaders, Tinubu deserved a re-election for, in less less than two years, having taken steps to offset foreign loans, stabilise the economy, strengthen the Naira, increase states and local governments  allocations, curbed herders salvaging off farmlands, killing of farmers and raping of their female family members, as well as his war against  kidnappings and insurgency.

The APC chieftains, however, appealed to saboteurs and sponsors of insurgencies to consider the interests of Nigeria and allow Tinubu to perform.

It also commended the spate of mass defection of Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) supporters to the APC in the area in recognition of Tinubu’s performance.

Meanwhile, the APC chieftains urged Nigerians to support Tinubu for the second term and vowed to take the campaign for  President’s re-election to a larger meeting of the party, scheduled for Igboho in Oke Ogun on June 30.
