The Coordinator and State Returning Officer for the 2026 APC Presidential Primaries in Oyo State, Senator Teslim Folarin, has commended the massive turnout of members of the All Progressives Congress (APC) across the 351 wards of the state for participating in the Saturday presidential primaries.
Senator Folarin described the impressive turnout as a strong demonstration of party loyalty, commitment, and confidence in the leadership of the APC, noting that such enthusiasm reflects the readiness of party members to work collectively towards greater success in the 2027 elections.
Addressing party members, the former Senate leader charged them to continue taking the achievements of President Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s administration to the grassroots, stressing the need for effective communication of the administration’s policies, programmes, and developmental strides to the people.
He further assured members that the party in Oyo State would intensify efforts towards achieving at least a 35 percent improvement on the 2023 presidential election results, emphasising that strategic mobilisation, stronger grassroots engagement, and sustained party unity would be key to attaining the target.
