Adelabu’s Loyalists in Ibadan South East LGA Restate Commitment to APC
Scores of members of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Ibadan South East East Local Government Area who are supporters of the former Minister of Power, Chief Adebayo Adelabu, have restated the total commitment to the success of the Party as well as the victory of all its candidates at the 2027 general elections.
The Party faithful who stormed the Oke-Ado, Ibadan State Secretariat of the APC on Friday to pledge their loyalty urged the public public disregard the “wrong impression being created in the social media space that everyone in the Adelabu Political Group has perfected plans to defect to Governor Seyi Makinde’s Allied People’s Movement APM even when Chief Bayo Adelabu had come out to say that he remained in APC.
According to the Leader of the team, Mr. Yusuf Bankole; “Members of the general public should ignore fake news about all of us on the Adelabu Political Group joining APM. The rumour is not only false as it is also offensive, ill-motivated and condemnable. We, the supporters of Chief Bayo Adelabu in Ibadan South East Local Government Area, remain rock solid in our great Party (APC). We have no cause to defect to APM or any other political party for that matter.
“We got the blessing of most of our leaders such as Chief Wasiu Ajimobi and Hon. Kayode Fagunwa to visit the State Secretariat today with a view to meeting the leadership of the Party and state our position since some unscrupulous elements have been spreading unfounded rumours regarding our status in the APC. As a matter of fact, we are not considering any move away from our great Party (APC). We shall work assiduously with other party members to ensure victory for all the candidates of our Party in the next year polls.
While reacting to the speech made by the leaders of the visiting group; former deputy governor who is the state chairman of the APC, Chief Moses Adeyemo, expressed delight at the decision of the members to visit the State Secretariat at the appropriate time. “You did the right by coming out to tell the whole world that you are real progressives and patriots. The primaries have come and gone while our attention has shifted to reconciliation, recalibration and renewal of zeal.
“To this end, we are appealing to all APC faithful to give room for peace, love and unity among ourselves. Campaigns have started and we will not leave any stone unturned to ensure that the Renewed Hope Agenda messages reach everyone with a view to winning their trust and confidence. APC is the party to beat and this explains why those who matter in the opposition parties are joining us every day. Our goals remain intact; we have to win all the elective posts in 2027 and doing so would guarantee success for all our candidates.” Adeyemo said.
Notable party leaders who led the team during the visit ; Chief Lukman Ayantola, Alhaji Rasheed Agarawu, Catechist John Taiwo Ige, Alhaji Mojeed Agbaje, Mr Sunmbo Oladiti, Mrs Adeniyi Taiwo, Alhaji Ayodele Oseni and Alfa Meta while Oyo APC Executive Committee members who received them included; Hon. Fatai Adesina, Barrister Sunday Aborisade, Hon. Tunde Elegbede and Hon. Olawale Sadare.
