2027: APC’s Struggles in Ibadan North Reveal Major Challenges Ahead, Says Tinubu’s Advisor

Published

The Director General of National Institute for Hospitality and Tourism, NIHOTOUR, Dr Abisoye Fagade, has declared that the failure of All Progressives Congress, APC, to win Saturday’s bye-election in Ibadan North Federal Constituency is an indication that the party has more work to do ahead of 2027.

Fagade made this declaration on Monday during the opening of President Bola Tinubu second term campaign office in Lagelu local government area of the state.

The event was attended by APC chieftains among whom are Senator Hamzat Ademola Adeseun, former Chairman of Lagelu local government area, Chief Timothy Kunle Sanda, Remi Adebayo, Alhaji Bashiru Akanbi, Chief James Ajuwon, Sikiru Adebayo and Mr Gafar Oyebade, among others.

Our correspondent reports that the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, candidate, Folajimi Oyekunle won the by-election, defeating the APC candidate, Adewale Haastrup Olatunji and other candidates.

Fagade while addressing journalists at the event, noted that what happened on Saturday is an indication that APC has many things to do ahead of 2027 general elections in the state. He noted that the party has learnt its lesson.

However, he maintained that the party will come back stronger after the defeat.

He said, “Let me comment on what happened in Oyo State on Saturday. What happened in Oyo State on Saturday shows that we still have a lot of work to do.

“And we have been doing it. This one shows that we are serious. With what happened on Saturday, it shows that we will come back stronger. This is my local government and there is no way they will do something of this nature that I will not be there.”

Adeseun while speaking noted that Tinubu’s second term is non-negotiable.

He said, “So, this is our best chance, we have to use it maximally. Tinubu’s second term is non negotiable. If you look at the results of the Saturday’s bye-election across the country, we had 16 bye-elections, APC won in 12, other political parties shared 4.

“That is an indication that is telling us where Nigerians are going. All the people making noice, they are just deceiving themselves. Yoruba will spend eight years”.

Coordinator of the campaign team, Sikiru Adebayo said Tinubu is clearing the mess left behind by his predecessors.

He said, “We have some issues before Tinubu came and he is settling it. We want to sensitive people on the need to give Mr President enough time to right the wrong.”

Disqualified Big Brother Naija season 10 housemate Faith has partnered with the Lagos Food Bank Initiative to support vulnerable families in Lagos.

The outreach programme, part of the Temporary Emergency Food Assistance Program, aims to provide relief for families struggling with hunger and the cost-of-living crisis.

According to a tweet via Lagos Food Bank’s page, it reads, “Big Brother changed his life, now he’s choosing to change the world. Faith Adewale is not just using his voice; he’s using his platform to give back.”

Faith had previously volunteered with LFBI’s #NUMEPlan, a program focused on treating and feeding malnourished children.

“After volunteering at Lagos Food Bank under the #NUMEPLAN program, where malnourished children are treated and fed, he made a promise to return and do more.

“On Wednesday, 15th October, he’s keeping that promise as he will be joining us at the Food Bank Warehouse for an impactful TEFAP Program to serve vulnerable families. This isn’t just an outreach, it’s a movement of love, hope, and action”, the statement reads.

This new initiative showcases Faith’s commitment to using his platform for purpose-driven work and giving back to the community.

The Lagos Food Bank Initiative is also collaborating with five outstanding NGOs to strengthen communities and reduce food insecurity across Nigeria.

“Together, we’re making a real difference in the fight against hunger. This collaboration strengthens communities and helps reduce food insecurity across Nigeria.

“Nigeria faces a paradox of food surplus and widespread hunger. Our mission is to bridge that gap to ensure no one goes hungry while food goes to waste,” the statement read.

“Our target group in this program is the very needy cases of persons who are aged, disabled, patients of diet-related diseases, or beneficiaries severely affected by the negative effects of the cost-of-living crisis.

“The agricultural landscape in Nigeria presents a complex challenge, with significant food surplus coexisting alongside widespread hunger and food insecurity.

“Despite being a prominent agricultural producer, the nation grapples with food loss and waste across the supply chain, leading to economic losses, environmental degradation, and inadequate access to nourishing sustenance for many Nigerians”, the statement concluded.

Since his disqualification, Faith has spoken openly about his journey, revealing that he took a N5 million loan to participate in the show, an experience he described as “transformational.”
