The All Progressives Congress (APC) in Oyo State will on Friday convene a major stakeholders’ summit in Ibadan as part of renewed efforts to strengthen party unity and consolidate preparations ahead of the 2027 general elections.
The meeting, scheduled for 10 a.m. at the APC State Secretariat in Oke-Ado, will be facilitated by the Renewed Hope Ambassadors of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu.
According to a statement issued on Monday by the party’s Publicity Secretary, Olawale Sadare, the summit is designed to fine-tune ongoing reconciliation engagements and reinforce cohesion among party leaders and members across all levels.
Sadare expressed satisfaction with the “current state of harmony” within the APC under the leadership of the state chairman, Alhaji Olayide Abas, noting that major stakeholders have continued to rally behind efforts to build a more formidable political structure ahead of the next elections.
Among those expected at the summit are former deputy governors; former and serving members of the National Assembly; former and serving ministers; federal appointees; former and current members of the Oyo State House of Assembly; as well as past and present members of the APC National, Zonal, and State Executive Committees.
Others invited include former First Ladies; Elders Advisory Council members; zonal leaders; former Secretaries to the State Government; former Chiefs of Staff; commissioners; local government chairmen and vice chairmen; council secretaries; and ward executives.
Also expected are serving local government chairmen and secretaries of the party, former ward leaders, and former heads of government agencies who are APC members.
Friday’s summit was coming two months after a widely commended leadership retreat organised by the party in Ibadan, which drew praise from political actors within and outside Oyo State.
The Oyo APC said it is confident that the forthcoming meeting will further consolidate its internal reconciliation process and reposition the party for electoral victory in 2027.
