JUST-IN: Adelabu Rallies Oyo APC To Win LG Election
The Minister of Power, Adebayo Adelabu, on Sunday, said the All Progressives Congress in Oyo State would participate in the forthcoming local government election in the state.
He added that the APC would win with or without the use of the Bimodal Voter Accreditation System.
He made this known shortly after meeting party leaders, state executive council members, and the chairmanship and councillorship candidates for the council poll, at the state party secretariat, Oke-Ado in Ibadan, the state capital.
INTEGRITY NEWS reports that the state Independent Electoral Commission had fixed April 27, 2024, for the local government elections in the state.
Adelabu said, “We have agreed to go for the election. We will not abandon or boycott the election. BVAS or not, the APC will win local government elections in this state. This is the day of social media, no one can do any hanky-panky. It must be a transparent and credible election. People are out there, waiting for the APC to come out and we shall win.
“We are here to wish them the compliments of the season and also wish them a successful completion of the Ramadan fast. We also used the opportunity to meet the party executive members and party leaders across the state and our candidates for the Chairmanship and councillors positions for the coming local government elections in the state.
“We discussed generally about progress of the party, now that the party has come together as one again. The party is back and we have what it takes to win any election in the state today.”
The minister, therefore, appealed to the aggrieved party members to come back to the fold of the party and forge a formidable team so as to achieve victory during the coming election.
END.
