The All Progressives Congress (APC) is poised to reclaim Oyo State in the 2027 gubernatorial election, according to former Minister of Power Adebayo Adelabu. He made this assertion in a statement released on Saturday, vowing that the APC would oust the ruling Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) through unity and widespread support.
Adelabu, a gubernatorial aspirant under the APC banner, emphasized that his decision to contest again stems from a commitment to transformative governance. He noted that his formal declaration, slated for Tuesday in Ibadan, will herald a fresh political chapter aimed at restoring progressive leadership to the state.
Drawing on his experience as the APC candidate in the 2019 election—where he lost to incumbent Governor Seyi Makinde—Adelabu expressed confidence that the 2027 contest would yield a different outcome. He urged party faithful and residents to rally behind the APC to end PDP’s tenure.
