The First Lady, Senator Oluremi Tinubu, who was represented by the Minister of Women Affairs, Hajiya Imaan Sulaiman-Ibrahim, urged the people of Oyo State to vote for President Tinubu in the 2027 presidential election.

She also called on Oyo voters to align their votes with the APC at the state level by supporting Sharafadeen Alli for governor and voting for all APC candidates contesting the various elective positions.

The first lady’s representative described the APC candidates as the best choices for the country and Oyo State, urging party supporters to remain united and mobilise voters ahead of the elections.

Speaking at the gathering, Sharafadeen Alli thanked President Tinubu and other party leaders for their support, assuring the people of Oyo State that he would provide good governance if elected governor.
