The governorship candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Oyo State Senator Sharafadeen Alli has stated that the victory of the party in 2027 would depend largely on its ability to overcome internal divisions and present a united front to the electorate.
He adding that members of the party should put behind them what had happened in the past and forge a common front.
Alli said the APC is the only credible party that can oust the Peoples Democratic Party, (PDP) in Oyo state in 2027.
He made this known at the unveiling of the 50 candidates of the party for the various elective positions in 2027.
According to Alli, “Those who contested the governorship ticket alongside me should not be regarded as opponents but as brothers and critical stakeholders in the collective struggle for the party’s victory.”
He warned that internal disagreements and divisions could undermine the party’s prospects at the general elections, stressing that unity remained essential if the APC was to secure victory across the state.
The governorship candidate said, “A united APC would present a stronger front and improve the party’s chances of electoral victory across Oyo State.”
Alli also sought to broaden the appeal of his candidacy by promising an inclusive administration if elected governor, saying his government would place emphasis on sectors with direct impact on the wellbeing and economic prospects of residents.
He specifically listed education, healthcare, agriculture and infrastructure among his priorities, promising that every part of the state would receive attention under his administration.
