Dare lauds Akande, Tinubu’s efforts to reposition Oyo APC, begs members for support

The Youths and Sports Minister, Mr Sunday Dare has lauded the efforts of national leaders of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Chief Bisi Akande, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, among others, to reunite and reconcile all members for repositioning of the party in Oyo State.

He urged members to hold strongly to the promise of a stronger APC, as this, he said is the means to reposition Oyo in the regional and federal political spectrum as a pacesetter among the various states.

“We must as a party move on from past setbacks and disappointments and fix our eyes to a brighter future for the party and the state. Let us heed the calls of our leaders to come together, work together, mobilise and strategise together.

“As it is now, we all must take a clear stand. The days for petty calculation are over. You are either in or outside the party. One cannot claim to be inside the party and fail to align with all efforts to resolve the recurring issues affecting the operations of our party.

“The APC is strong but we must get stronger. We must act with greater cohesion and strength of purpose. We must build on the developmental legacy established by the former governor, Senator Abiola Ajimobi. Eight years of infrastructural improvement and urban renewal opened up Oyo to a new vista of development and changed the face of the state for the better.

“Oyo today has been placed on the path of modernity. No matter what detractors say we have a track record of achievements that this state has not experienced before. Instead of being stymied by small differences let us use the progress made to compel us to move forward. To do so we must discard political lethargy and unite to reposition Oyo State.

“As pacesetters, it is time to not let anyone other than our own speak for us or lead us. Join me in doing what is necessary to see that Oyo State takes its rightful place nationally. The year 2020 offers us this opportunity. We would be wise to not let it pass but to cease it.
