Noting that there must be homogeneity of leadership in the zone, National Chairman of the party, Dr Abdullahi Ganduje said anybody who loves the nation should be proud that the president is from the South West.

Ganduje spoke on Wednesday evening in Abuja when he received Oyo APC stakeholders led by the Minister of Power, Bayo Adelabu.

He said; “Oyo State is part of our blueprint which we call political party homogeneity. We have been looking for unity and uniformity in Oyo State. Now we are seeing elements of unity and uniformity.

“We are concerned about the unity of Oyo State and the unity of Nigeria and the homogeneity of the South West because our 2027 is a task that must be done.

“We will organise mega stakeholders meeting in Ibadan that will involve all the members of the party to the point that the opposition will be intimidated.

“We want the party to be active in the State throughout the year. We want your party offices from the ward, to the Local Government levels be physically habitable and functionally operational by having constant meetings.

That is how you can be connected and coherently alive and more importantly intimidate the opponents. Make sure that when I come to Ibadan next year, I will visit some of the offices. Three Senators, House of Representatives, we virtually have the government and all that it requires is to take the other half.

“I have already told you our blueprint about President Bola Tinubu. Coming home as the son of the soil, he cannot afford to see a beautiful fowl without the head of the vulture and Oyo State political party homogeneity is the answer.

“Anybody who is patriotic about the unity of this country, anybody in love with this country, should be happy that your geopolitical zone has produced the president”.

Adelabu said they were in the party house to congratulate the chairman on the recent victories in Edo and Ondo states, as well as present the new state leadership of the party go him.

He expressed confidence that the victories in Edo and Ondo States will be extended to the remaining states in the Southwest and Nigeria, and re-emphasized Ganduje ‘s position that “the strategy for the Southwest is homogeneity”.

“The President is from the Southwest. So we have no reason to leave any state behind in the Southwest.

There must be homogenous party existence, victory and support for Mr President. So I want to congratulate Mr Chairman and his team for the wonderful feat they achieved in these two states.
