IBADAN   –   YOUTHS, women, and leaders of the All Progressives Congress (APC) across the 33 local government areas of Oyo State have received an economic relief fund worth ₦100 million from the Minister of Power, Chief Adebayo Adelabu, through his Bayo Adelabu Foundation (BAF).

The empowerment programme, held on Saturday, November 8, 2025, in Ibadan, attracted party faithful and stakeholders from across the state.
Chief Adelabu, who is also a governorship hopeful under the APC for the 2027 elections, reaffirmed his commitment to serving the state, pledging that more empowerment and development initiatives would come when the APC returns to power.
He described the ruling Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Oyo State as a “tenant” in the Agodi Government House, expressing confidence that the APC would reclaim the seat in 2027.
“Oyo belongs to the progressives. We are the landlords, and by God’s grace, we are returning to Agodi Government House in 2027,” Adelabu declared.

He, however, urged party members to remain united at the ward, local government, and state levels to ensure victory in the forthcoming election.

In his lecture at the event, Dr. Stephen Lafenwa of the Department of Political Science, University of Ibadan, emphasized that political parties that invest in their youths, women, and leaders stand a better chance of winning public trust and electoral success.

“No political party can win public confidence without empowering its members,” he said, commending the APC in Oyo for prioritizing the welfare of its grassroots members.

He also advised beneficiaries to use the financial support wisely to improve their livelihoods.

In his welcome address, the Oyo State APC Chairman, Alhaji Olaide Abass—represented by the party’s Secretary, Alhaji Tajudeen Olanite— commended Chief Adelabu for his consistent support to the party and its members.

“The entire state now knows that APC is back on its feet, thanks to your efforts. As a representative of Oyo State in President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s administration, we are proud of the way you have represented us,” he said.

Dignitaries at the event included Alhaji Wasiu Ajimobi (younger brother of the late former governor, Senator Abiola Ajimobi), the APC State Woman Leader, Alhaja Tinuade Adigun, Hon. Yemi Aderibigbe, Alhaji Isiaka Alimi, and Alhaji Wale Sanusi, among others.
