Hon. Remi Oseni, who represents Ibarapa East/Ido Federal Constituency in the House of Representatives, has called on leaders of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Oyo State to unite ahead of the 2027 governorship election.
Speaking at the inauguration of the Remi Oseni Committee of Friends (ROCOF) in Ido Local Government, held Saturday at BEMBO Village, Apata, Ibadan, Oseni emphasized that internal cohesion within the party is critical to reclaiming the state from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
“Our mission is clear for 2027, Oyo must speak with one voice for President Tinubu, and APC must return to power in this state,” Oseni said. “This is not just politics; it is about hope, justice, and prosperity for our people.”
The event followed a similar launch in Ibarapa East Local Government, part of a wider grassroots mobilisation strategy. Oseni revealed that ROCOF has now been established across all 33 local governments in the state.
Oseni clarified that ROCOF is not an alternative political structure but a grassroots movement within the APC framework aimed at promoting justice, equity, accountability, and good governance.
He expressed confidence that the APC will not only return to power in Oyo by 2027 but do so stronger and more united.
“We must align with the Federal Government for greater progress. Our roads, hospitals, industries, and farmers need federal support — and only political alignment can guarantee that.”
He added that traditional rulers, market leaders, and the grassroots are rallying behind the APC, describing them as the “backbone” of the movement.
As part of his broader community outreach, Oseni also unveiled a scholarship scheme for indigent students, offering full university sponsorship to any senior secondary school student in his constituency who earns five A’s in the WAEC examination and secures admission to a tertiary institution.
“Our youths are not thugs; they are the leaders of tomorrow. If you are brilliant, we will support you, no matter your course of study,” he said.
Additionally, he announced plans to launch a Food Bank aimed at supporting households in Ido and Ibarapa East, pledging that no family would be left behind.
“Nobody should go hungry. Every household will benefit from the Food Bank once it becomes operational.”
