Honourable 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 need for party unity. He commended the APC Reconciliation Committee for healing the party after the primaries and promised to support its efforts.

The Minister's engagements began with a meeting with the APC Reconciliation Committee, led by Senator Olufemi Lanlehin. Senator Lanlehin thanked Tegbe for his support and pledged that the committee would continue to engage with aggrieved aspirants and stakeholders until full unity is achieved. Tegbe then met with the APC State Secretariat at Oke-Ado, where he was received by the State Chairman, Chief Moses Alake Adeyemo, and members of the State Executive Committee.

At the Oyo State Secretariat of the Tinubu Support Group in Yemetu, Tegbe was met by a large crowd of supporters and party members. He charged the groups to take the message to the grassroots and mobilize voters for the President's re-election and for APC candidates at every level. Tegbe highlighted the positive impact of President Tinubu's power sector reforms, which have led to increased electricity generation and transmission.

Under President Tinubu, Nigeria has recorded high generation and transmission, rising above 5,300MW in recent weeks. Tegbe noted that this increase in power availability strengthens the case for industrial growth and job creation. He urged party leaders to ensure that all interests and political tendencies within the party are carried along and promised to continue supporting the party.

Leaders of various support groups thanked Tegbe for his consistent support of 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 is poised to deliver Oyo State and a renewed mandate for President Bola Ahmed Tinubu.

Tegbe's call for unity and support for party candidates was well-received by party members and support groups. The Minister's efforts aim to ensure a strong showing for the APC in the 2027 general elections. By emphasizing the positive impact of President Tinubu's reforms, Tegbe seeks to mobilize voters and secure victory for the party.

The APC in Oyo State appears to be gearing up for a strong campaign in the 2027 general elections. With Tegbe's rallying cry and the party's focus on unity, the APC is optimistic about its chances of delivering Oyo State and securing a renewed mandate for President Tinubu. The party's performance in the elections will depend on its ability to maintain unity and effectively communicate its message to voters.
