The All Progressives Congress (APC) youth leaders in Oyo State have asked Governor Seyi Makinde<\/strong> to begin preparing his handover note, insisting that residents are ready for a new leadership direction ahead of the 2027 governorship election.<\/p>\n Abia Radio News<\/strong> reports that the charge was issued during a press briefing at the APC Secretariat in Oke-Ado, Ibadan, where the State APC Youth Leader, Comrade John Aremu, said young party members were already mobilising to wrest power from the ruling Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).<\/p>\n Aremu accused the current administration of stalling Oyo\u2019s progress through poor governance and inefficiency.<\/p>\n According to him, \u201cThe present government has held Oyo State in bondage, and the people are tired. APC youths are ready to deliver the political change the state urgently needs.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n He said the ruling party should brace for its exit as the APC youth wing is preparing to take charge of the state\u2019s leadership.<\/p>\n The youth leader stressed that the next phase of Oyo\u2019s development would be youth-driven, with emerging leaders positioned to offer a more progressive direction.<\/p>\n Aremu declared, \u201cThe ruling party should prepare for its eventual exit. Progressive young leaders are ready to assume responsibility.<\/em>\u201d<\/p>\n Speaking on internal party dynamics, Aremu said the reconciliation between former governorship candidate Senator Teslim Folarin and the Minister of Power, Adebayo Adelabu,<\/strong> was a major boost to the party\u2019s unity.<\/p>\n He noted that the renewed cooperation among top APC stakeholders signals a stronger, more cohesive front ahead of the next election cycle.<\/p>\n Aremu revealed that the forthcoming APC Youth Summit would be pivotal in repositioning the party\u2019s youth wing ahead of 2027.<\/p>\n The summit, he explained, will focus on\u00a0restructuring party units,\u00a0mobilising grassroots support, and fostering alignment among young members behind a shared vision.<\/p>\n He added that a comprehensive youth-driven roadmap will be unveiled, featuring digital advocacy, political mobilisation, community engagement projects, and issue-based campaigns designed to reclaim Oyo State.<\/p>\n Aremu emphasised that young APC leaders are prepared to spearhead the transformation needed to advance Oyo\u2019s development.<\/p>\n \u201cThe future of Oyo must be planned today,\u201d<\/em> he said, reaffirming the youth wing\u2019s commitment to shaping the state\u2019s next political chapter.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n \u00a9 2025 Abia Radio News, a division of Tee Global Innovataions.
