Former Senate Leader, Senator Teslim Folarin, has urged aggrieved members of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Oyo State, including former Minister of Power Adebayo Adelabu, to set aside their differences and support the party’s governorship candidate, Senator Sharafadeen Alli, ahead of the 2027 general elections.
Folarin made the appeal amid lingering disagreements over the party’s governorship primary, which produced Alli as its candidate for the forthcoming election.
According to reports by Oyo Insight and The PUNCH, Folarin expressed confidence that dissatisfied aspirants and their supporters would eventually join the campaign, stressing that disagreements over the selection process should not prevent members from working together.
Speaking on the need for unity, Folarin warned that continued division could threaten the political future of party members.
“Anyone can have issues about the process, but the candidate has emerged. If we don’t work together, we are all going to political oblivion,” he said.
His remarks come as the Oyo APC intensifies efforts to reconcile its members and strengthen its political structure ahead of the 2027 elections. The party is seeking to reclaim the state from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), which currently governs Oyo State.
Folarin’s appeal underscores the importance of unity and cooperation among APC leaders as the party prepares for the governorship contest and other elections in the state.
