Addressing stakeholders at the meeting, Folarin reaffirmed the party’s resolve to strengthen its structures and build a united front ahead of the 2027 general elections.
Those at the meeting include Senator Fatai Buhari, Senator Yunus Akintunde, a member of the House of Representatives, Hon. Akeem Adeyemi, a lawmaker representing Egbeda/Ona-Ara federal constituency, Hon. Akin Alabi, a lawmaker representing Ido/Ibarapa East federal constituency, Hon. Aderemi Oseni, a lawmaker representing Oluyole Federal Constituency, Hon. Tolulope Shadipe, and Hon. Olamijuwonlo Alao-Akala

Also in attendance were the former Minister of Communication, Barr. Adebayo Shittu, lawmaker representing Oluyole Federal Constituency, Hon. Tolulope Akande-Shadipe, Chief Lowo Obisesan, Alhaji Fatai Ibikunle, Chief Waheed Ajisafe, and Sen. Hosea Agboola, among others.
Folarin said that the objective of the meeting was to unify all stakeholders in the party and consolidate on the 2023 presidential performance by achieving at least a 35% increase in total votes for President Bola Ahmed Tinubu in the 2027 election.
He stated that unity remained the bedrock of any meaningful political advancement.
He reiterated that the Renewed Hope agenda, which aligned with President Tinubu’s expectations, requires harmony, collaboration, and coordinated mobilisation across all levels of the party.
He assured members that Oyo State would not only align with this national direction but would set a standard for political organisation and teamwork.
He further stressed the importance of rebuilding and strengthening APC structures statewide, which includes the complete activation and revitalisation of party organs from the state executive level to all 33 Local Governments, 351 Wards, and every polling unit.
“Our grassroots structures must be vibrant, functional, and connected to the people. Every ward, every unit, and every community must feel the presence and impact of the APC. This is how we consolidate our gains and deliver an even more convincing victory for President Tinubu in the next election.”
Folarin, however, reaffirmed his unwavering commitment to working closely with party leaders, stakeholders, and the Renewed Hope Team to ensure that Oyo State becomes a model of strategic and inclusive political mobilisation.
In his remark, the Minister of Power, Chief Adebayo Adelabu, said the reconciliation was significant towards the peace and progress of the party, particularly when the 2027 general elections are around the corner.
He lauded Tinubu’s effort in restoring unity in the party, urging party members to embrace unity to wrest power from the PDP in 2027.
He stated that party members at the ward level, local government, and grassroots must be carried along in the ongoing reconciliation.
He, however, commended Folarin for allowing reconciliation, saying better days are coming for the party, particularly in the 2027 general elections.
In his remark, Sen. Ayo Adeseun said President Tinubu will not ignore the state if re-elected.
He called on leaders of the party to open their doors for true and genuine reconciliation so that the party can come back to power in the state by 2027.
Earlier in his welcome address, the Chairman of the party in the state, Alhaji Olaide Abass, described the gathering as the beginning of good things in the party.
He stated that peace and unity have been restored in the party, saying the party is now more united than before.
He, however, urged members of the party to continue to be in unity to re-elect President Tinubu and wrest power from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in the state come 2027.
