The APC Youth Liberation Movement, a faction within the Osun State chapter of the All Progressives Congress, has said the coming of Governor Ademola Adeleke to the party would greatly boost the party’s chances of securing a landslide victory in the upcoming 2027 election, reports Business Today NG.
The group, operating under the party’s Directorate of Youth Organisations,added that bringing Governor Adeleke into the APC represents a significant advantage for the progressive party and a strategic step toward success in the 2027 elections.
In a statement made available to newsmen by group’s State Coordinator, Comrade Ajasa Oluwaseun, highlighted that Governor Adeleke’s political influence and strength are undeniable, citing his remarkable electoral track record and increasing popularity throughout the state.
According to him, “if we take a moment to reflect on Senator Ademola Adeleke’s political journey.
“In the 2017 Osun West Senatorial bye-election, he defeated the APC candidate in nine out of ten local governments, despite our party being in control both at the state and federal levels.
“In the keenly contested 2018 gubernatorial election, he gave our candidate, Alhaji Adegboyega Oyetola, a serious run for his money.
“By 2022, he returned stronger and eventually unseated the incumbent Governor Oyetola to become the sitting Governor of Osun State.
“Given his strong political credentials and the achievements recorded so far under his administration, any move by Governor Adeleke to join the APC should be seen as a welcomed development.
“It is well within his constitutional right to associate with any political party of his choice, and we as a youth group believe his defection would be a great asset to the APC ahead of 2027,” Ajasa added.
