Oyo 2027: Akin-alabi Congratulates Gbolagade Over Oluyole Apc Rep Ticket Win, Lauds Direct Primary Process

Following the successful conclusion of the All Progressives Congress (APC) internal polls across Oyo State today, Saturday, May 16, 2026, a prominent State House of Assembly aspirant for Ibadan North East Constituency, Hon. Dr. Demilade Akin-Alabi, has sent warm congratulations to Hon. Tajudeen Abiodun Gbolagade (TAG) on his landslide victory to clinch the party’s ticket for the Oluyole Federal Constituency in the 2027 green chamber elections.

In a congratulatory statement made available to newsmen in Ibadan shortly after the official declaration of the results, Dr. Akin-Alabi described Gbolagade’s victory as a well-deserved triumph that reflects his deep grassroots acceptance and long-standing commitment to human capital development. The legislative hopeful noted that the massive turnout of party faithful across the various wards of Oluyole Local Government Area to elect Gbolagade validates the progressive values of the APC and sets a formidable standard for internal democracy in the state.

Dr. Akin-Alabi further commended the party leadership, monitoring bodies, and security agencies for ensuring a peaceful, transparent, and credible direct primary process, asserting that such open democratic exercises reinforce the trust of the electorate. He emphasized that Gbolagade’s developmental vision—predicated on inclusive representation, grassroots empowerment, and reinforced security—perfectly aligns with the yearnings of the people of Oluyole and positions the party for a resounding victory at the general polls.

While wishing the newly minted candidate a successful campaign ahead, the Ibadan North East aspirant urged all party stakeholders, co-contenders, and supporting groups to immediately sheath their swords and unite behind Gbolagade’s candidacy. Dr. Akin-Alabi noted that the ultimate goal remains delivering effective, people-oriented representation to the grassroots, adding that a unified front within the Oyo State APC is essential to successfully retaining and safeguarding the federal constituency seat in Abuja come 2027.
