Nigeria's Minister of Power, Joseph Tegbe, has called on APC members and support groups in Oyo State to unite and deliver victory for President Bola Ahmed Tinubu and all party candidates in the 2027 general elections. Tegbe made the call during a series of engagements in Ibadan, emphasizing the positive impact of President Tinubu's power sector reforms on ordinary Nigerians. He commended the APC Reconciliation Committee for healing the party after the primaries and promised to support its efforts.
Tegbe met with the APC Reconciliation Committee, led by Senator Olufemi Lanlehin, and later with the State Chairman, Chief Moses Alake Adeyemo, and members of the State Executive Committee at the APC State Secretariat in Oke-Ado. The Minister urged party leaders to ensure that all interests and political tendencies within the party are carried along and promised to continue supporting the party. Senator Lanlehin thanked Tegbe and pledged that the committee would continue engaging aspirants and stakeholders until it achieves full unity.
Tegbe then addressed a huge crowd of supporters and party members at the Oyo State Secretariat of the Tinubu Support Group in Yemetu. He charged the groups to mobilize voters for the President's re-election and for APC candidates at every level, highlighting the success of the President's power sector reforms. Under President Tinubu, Nigeria has recorded high generation and transmission of power, rising above 5,300MW in recent weeks, providing more electricity for homes, markets, workshops, and factories.
The Minister emphasized that one of the strongest arguments for the party is the impact of the reforms on ordinary Nigerians. Leaders of various support groups thanked Tegbe for his consistent support for party members and pledged to work for the party's success at the polls. The message from Ibadan was clear: President Tinubu's reforms are producing results, and Oyo APC must approach the election as one, indivisible unit.
With the President's record as its case and unity as its strength, the party goes into 2027 ready to deliver Oyo State and a renewed mandate for President Bola Ahmed Tinubu.
