Former Deputy Governor of Oyo State, Chief Moses Alake Adeyemo, has officially assumed office as the new chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Oyo State.

This followed the inauguration of a new State Executive Committee that is expected to manage party affairs for the next four years.

The swearing-in ceremony which took place at the State’s Secretariat marks the conclusion of the 2026 APC state congresses.

Western Post confirmed that Barrister Kolawole Majaro administered the oath of office to Adeyemo and 35 other officials who emerged successfully at the March 3 State Congress.

In his acceptance speech, Adeyemo described his appointment as a renewed call to service while praising party leaders for facilitating a smooth congress.

While emphasising the need for unity and harmony among party members, the new chairman affirmed that the new State Executive Committee is committed to strengthening the APC and preparing for the 2027 elections.

The ex-deputy governor also went on to praise President Tinubu for his performance, describing the Renewed Hope Agenda as a success, having delivered tangible results across key sectors of the economy.

He further urged party members to support Tinubu’s bid for a second term, adding that it is necessary for him to consolidate his achievements.
