The All Progressives Congress in Oyo State, on Wednesday, expressed optimism that it would emerge victorious in this Saturday’s supplementary election, urging eligible voters to honour the President-elect, Bola Ahmed Tinubu, by voting for its candidates at the poll.

The leadership of the party, in a communique issued after extended executive committee members meeting, held at the party secretariat, Oke-Ado in Ibadan, reiterated support for Tolulope Akande-Shadipe and Dapo Lam-Adesina who are seeking to represent Oluyole and Ibadan North-East/South-East Federal constituencies for a second term, respectively “because the two candidates remain the best option as representatives of their people this time.

“The duo share similar attributes of competence, experience and responsibility, unlike the candidates of the Peoples Democratic Party and other parties in the contest. It is in this regard that we are urging voters in the affected polling units to go for the best and reject those who would only go to Abuja to warm the bench.

We also urge the electorate to be mindful of the fact that voting for the candidates of the APC would further cement the confidence which Tinubu has developed in them as he prepares to start reciprocating the gesture as soon as he is sworn in on May 29.

The party stakeholders also passed a vote of confidence on the Isaac Omodewu-led state executive committee “which delivered the biggest winning votes for the president-elect, delivered the three Senatorial and eight House of Representatives seats in the first election only to lose out to grand conspiracy of many forces in the second poll.
