The All Progressives Congress, APC in Oyo state has inaugurated its campaign council ahead of the 2023 General elections.
The inauguration was held at the party’s secretariat, Oke Ado, Ibadan.
Our political correspondent, who was at the ceremony, reports that the campaign council comprises three thousand, three hundred and thirty-three members.
The Director General of the Campaign council is a former Executive Assistant on economic and budget planning under the administration of Late Governor Abiola Ajimobi, Alhaji Isiaka kolawole, while the spokesperson is a former Chairman of Oluyole Local Government and veteran journalist, Alhaji Kehinde Olaosebikan.
In his acceptance speech, the Director General of the campaign council, Alhaji Kolawole said the party’s Governorship candidate, Senator Teslim Folarin would be the best thing to happen to Oyo State if elected.
“I am convinced that Senator Teslim Kolawole Folarin as Executive Governor of Oyo State come 2023 will be the best thing to happen to the Pacesetter State. Since the age of 39, he has been providing qualitative representation, not only to the great people of Oyo Central Senatorial District but also to Oyo State at large.
“Today, he is the first-ever three-term senator in our state with lots of lofty achievements. Asaaju Olubadan of Ibadanland is genuinely passionate to serve the people of Oyo State. He is determined to move Oyo State Forward for Growth and Development, and will not be an accidental governor, as he is well prepared for good governance” he said.
Alhaji Kolawole noted that he accepted to be the Director General of the campaign council because of the calibre of candidates the party has produced.
“I humbly accept the enviable but onerous opportunity to serve as Director-General of the 2023 Oyo APC Campaign Council because the party is fielding her best eleven as presidential, gubernatorial, senatorial, House of Representatives and House of Assembly candidates for the upcoming elections. Everyone knows Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu for his qualitative leadership and track of excellent performance as a public administrator, he will undoubtedly reposition Nigeria for the betterment of the downtrodden masses”.
In a remark, the APC Governorship candidate, Senator Folarin expressed delight in the composition of the campaign council.
“I am happy that the campaign council is composed of people with proven characters, competence and capacity required to take us to victory land. I assure the campaign council of our cooperation. You lead and we (the candidates) follow!”
Senator Folarin said if elected, peace and order would be restored to the state, adding that the party would engage in issue-based campaigns.
“I want to restate that I am not seeking the mandate of Oyo State citizens and residents to rule but to serve the State. Our mission is to move Oyo State Forward for Growth and Development, and to restore her dignity and pace-setting status”.
“Unlike the incumbent administration in the state, APC government under my administration will not give flimsy excuses to justify failures in education, health, agriculture, security, environment and other sectors of Oyo State economy. I want to declare that there is no “FAILURE” in our dictionary”.
“I sincerely assure citizens and residents of Oyo State that Oyo APC will engage in issue-based campaign as we do not believe in violence and propaganda to win elections. It’s TKF O’CLOCK to forward Oyo State from the nadir to the apex of good governance”.
Earlier, the Chairman of the party in the state, Mr Isaac Omodewu had charged all party members to be alive to their responsibilities to ensure a successful outing next year.
