The Chairman of the Oyo State chapter of the Labour Party, Hon. Atayese Tunji Sadiq, has expressed confidence that the party is on course for victory in the 2027 general elections, declaring that the Labour Party is strategically positioned to emerge victorious in both the state and federal polls.
Hon. Atayese made the declaration during a town hall meeting organized through the collaboration of volunteer organizations aimed at educating and mobilizing members of the public on the imperative of meaningful political change capable of delivering the Nigeria of their dreams.
The event also sought to enlighten citizens on the power of the Permanent Voter Card (PVC), emphasizing its significance as a tool for electing credible leaders and shaping a better future for the country.
Tagged “Meet, Greet and Ask,” the programme provided an interactive platform for members of the Ibadan North community to engage with Labour Party candidates seeking elective offices in the forthcoming elections.
Among those presented at the event were Hon. Michael Oloyade, Labour Party candidate for the House of Representatives, Ibadan North Federal Constituency; Hon. Yahaya Olayinka, candidate for the Oyo State House of Assembly, Ibadan North Constituency I; and Hon. Seyi Adebayo, candidate for the Oyo State House of Assembly, Ibadan North Constituency II.
Responding to questions from community members, the candidates unanimously pledged to work towards improving the quality of life of the people by creating an enabling environment that would allow residents to thrive in their various endeavours.
Speaking on his commitment to grassroots development, Hon. Seyi Adebayo, representing Ibadan North Constituency II, assured constituents that his youthful energy and deep understanding of the challenges confronting the people would guide his legislative priorities. He noted that, as an active youth within the local government area, he is fully aware of the hardships facing residents and promised to formulate people-oriented policies and facilitate impactful programmes aimed at alleviating their suffering.
In his remarks, Hon. Atayese Tunji Sadiq, who led members of the state executive committee to the programme, commended the organisers for what he described as an outstanding initiative. He observed that the event marked a historic moment in Oyo State’s political landscape, noting that it was the first time such a programme would be organised independently of the direct influence of any invited political party and at such an early stage of the electoral cycle.
The Labour Party chairman therefore called on citizens across the state to embrace and spread the growing momentum for positive change, stressing that collective commitment to good governance remains the pathway to a better Oyo State and a greater Nigeria.
