Oyo APC inaugurates Tinubu/Shettima Campaign Team, Office in Ibadan

The Oyo State Coordinator, Tinubu/Shettima Oyo Women Campaign Team, Dr. Florence Ajimobi, has inaugurated a 40-man committee to help actualise the presidential ambition of the All Progressives Congress (APC) Presidential flag bearer, Bola Tinubu.

At the inauguration on Wednesday, the wife of the late ex-governor of Oyo State, Abiola Ajimobi, accompanied by the APC State Party Chairman, Isaac Omodewu, and other top party hierarchy, also opened the Campaign Office of the team at the Old APC Secretariat, Oke Ado, Ibadan, the Oyo State capital.

After the inaugural meeting of the campaign team at the Oluyole residence of the Ajimobis, the team paid a courtesy call on the party state leadership before storming the campaign office with funfair to declare it open.

During the visit, Dr. Ajimobi called on all party members to shun their differences, bury their hatchet, and ensure electoral victory for all party candidates, from the president to the national and state assembly.

She disclosed she had agreed to take up coordinating the campaign team for Bola Tinubu because of the relationship and rapport between Tinubu and her late husband.

Ajimobi asserted she knew her husband would smile in his grave at her decision to continue to uphold the mandate of loyalty, commitment, love, and brotherliness between himself (Ajimobi) and Tinubu.

She noted that delivering the state for Tinubu in the forthcoming election is a collective work that requires the support of everybody from all the nooks and crannies of the state.

Ajimobi assured the party members that the committee inaugurated would form sub-committees where many more people, especially at the grassroots, would be involved in ensuring political victory for Tinubu/Shettima in the election.

Speaking, the APC Chairman, Isaac Omodewu, who described Dr. Ajimobi as his mother, said the party would do all within its power to ensure victory for all its candidates at the coming election.

He seized the opportunity of the event to appeal to the wife of the late governor to provide the leadership required to ensure victory for the party across the board in the 2023 elections, from the presidency to the state assembly, saying Dr. Ajimobi remained the mother of the party.

Omodewu appealed to the party members to come together for the task saying: “Nobody can do it alone. We have to work together for us to achieve our aim by the special grace of God.

“I’m using this opportunity to appeal to all the women to cooperate with our mother; she has done it before, she is still doing it, and we can see that she will still do it.

“We have confidence in her to lead us to deliver and achieve electoral success come 2023.”
