The All Progressives Congress (APC) in Oyo State, Nigeria, has declared its determination to regain control of the state from the ruling Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in the 2027 elections. This announcement was made by senior APC leaders during the launch of a book titled *A Life Of Principle: The Olayide Moshood Abas Story*, authored by Akeem Abas, a reporter with the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN). The event commemorated the 76th birthday of Pharmacist Olayide Abas, the APC Chairman in Oyo State, and was attended by prominent party figures such as Senator Sharafadeen Abiodun Alli and Barrister Akeem Agbaje.
The APC lost the governorship to the PDP’s Seyi Makinde in both the 2019 and 2023 general elections, but party leaders have resolved to reclaim the state in 2027. Senator Alli asserted that there are no internal issues within the party and expressed confidence that, with divine support, the APC will take over the state. Barrister Agbaje added that the APC has always been the strongest party in Oyo State and that unity among its members will be crucial to defeating the PDP.
Other notable APC members present at the book launch included Aderemi Oseni, Wasiu Ademola Alli, Ayodeji Abass‑Aleshinloye, and Yemi Aderibigbe. The gathering provided a platform for the party’s leaders to reaffirm their commitment to regaining control of Oyo State. As the 2027 elections approach, the APC’s resolve to retake the state is likely to be a significant factor in the region’s political landscape. Achieving this goal will require continued unity and strategic planning, and the election outcome will have important implications for the state’s governance and development, underscoring the APC’s role in Nigeria’s broader political context.
