Members of the APC UK Oyo State caucus has sent congratulatory messages to all the candidates of the party that won their elections in to respective offices in the just concluded general elections in the country
In a statement issued today in London on behalf of the group, the Publicity Secretary Mr Ademola Alalade praised the joint efforts put in to the preparation for the election by both the candidates and all party members to ensure victory at the polls.
The group noted that even though the party lost the gubernatorial election and most of the House of Assembly seats to the leading opposition party in the state, the victory recorded at the Presidential election where the party claimed all the Senatorial seats, and majority of the House of Reps seats, is something the party should be proud off.
While congratulating all the successful candidates, the group urged them to see their elections as a call to service to the people of Oyo State, putting their interest first in all they do as a sign of appreciation for voting them in.
The group also saluted the spirit of sportmanship demonstrated by the gubernatorial candidate Senator Teslim Folarin who after the results were released congratulated the winner and incumbent Governor Engr Seyi Makinde of the Peoples Democratic Party. This singular act by Senator Teslim Folarin is a sign of maturity which every politician who looses out at any election should imbibe rather than resulting to violence.
The group however called on all members of the All progressive Congress in Oyo State to put the loss at the guber polls behind them and begin to review all the lessons learnt with a view to building a stronger force to challenge the opposition party come 2027.
The group also called for unity amongs all the major stakeholders of the party urging them to come up with a good strategy on how to become a strong opposition that will objectively challenge the excesses of government, putting them on their toes to deliver on their promises to the people of the state.
This accortding to the group will put the party in a good position to earn back the trust of citizens of the state.
