Ahead of the 2027 general elections, the All Progressives Congress (APC), has vowed to wrest power from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in the state in 2027.

The party’s leader in the state and former deputy governor, Chief Iyiola Oladokun stated this at a meeting tagged, “Operation Recapture Oyo State,” held with party chieftains from the 10 local government areas in Oke Ogun, at Igboho.

The party leader lamented that under the PDP, the state has lost its pacesetter status.

He condemned the neglect of the hinterlands in Oyo State, especially the Oke Ogun axis, where major roads were littered with refuse dumps, faeces, unrepaired roads, blocked drainages and reoccurrence of kidnapping.

The party, therefore, directed its members to intensify grassroots mobilisation and ensure that every eligible citizen obtains the permanent voters’ card (PVC), to enable them vote out the PDP.

“We have learnt our lessons and mistakes on why we lost a progressive state to the PDP and we are now ready to install a people-oriented, progressive government in Oyo State in 2027,” Oladokun added.

Party leaders and members were enjoined to intensify grassroots mobilisation to vote enmasse for the APC in 2027.
