2027: Ayorinde urges APC members to avoid inflammatory comments that could lead to our downfall

A senior member of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Oyo State, Olalekan Ayorinde, has urged all party members to avoid statements that could harm the party’s prospects in 2027.

Ayorinde, who is from the Ibadan North East local government area, issued the call in a press release released to journalists on Tuesday.

He said that recent debates and rising tensions over the selection of party candidates have sparked strong emotions among APC members.

He cautioned that the party’s strength has always rested on unity and respect for leadership.

He encouraged members to adopt peace and dialogue, noting that this approach will enable the party to focus on regaining the state in 2027.

“As our great party, the All Progressives Congress in Oyo State, prepares for the 2027 general elections, I appeal to all leaders, members, supporters, and aspirants to remain calm, peaceful, and committed to the values that have kept us united over the years,” Ayorinde said.

“Recent discussions and growing tensions surrounding the emergence of party candidates have stirred strong emotions among many of us. That is understandable. However, we must remember that the strength of the APC has always been rooted in unity and respect for leadership.”

“Regardless of our individual preferences or political interests, we must continue to respect the process and decisions of our party. Whether or not we are in favour of those decisions, our loyalty must be to the progress of the APC and the continued development of our great state, Oyo.”

“Let us embrace dialogue, patience, and mutual respect as we work together toward the larger goal of securing victory for the APC in 2027.”
