The All Progressives Congress (APC) in Nigeria's Oyo State has elected Prince Dotun Oladipupo as the new chairman of the party for the Oluyole Local Government Area. This decision was made during a local government congress held at Olomi Primary School on a Saturday, where party officials ratified the choice of Oladipupo, a move that is seen as a significant step for the party in this local government area.

Prominent party chieftain Alhaji Kehinde Olaosebikan, who previously served as the council chairman, highlighted the importance of this election in fulfilling the party's ambitious goal of significantly increasing its electoral support in the upcoming 2027 presidential elections. Olaosebikan expressed confidence in Oladipupo's abilities, emphasizing that the new chairman comes with the necessary competence and leadership skills to enhance the party's performance in various areas and to rally support for President Bola Ahmed Tinubu.

This development marks a crucial moment for the APC in Oyo State, particularly as it ties into the broader strategy for the upcoming elections. The election of a capable and popular local leader like Oladipupo could play a vital role in energizing the party’s base and expanding its influence in the region leading up to the pivotal elections ahead.
