Oluwole Oke’s Statement
Speaking after his appointment, Oke declared, “With my appointment as Director-General of our party’s gubernatorial campaign, we have issued Governor Ademola Adeleke a quit notice. What I am seeing is victory. From this moment, Governor Adeleke should start packing his belongings from Government House.”
He also referenced APC members who had previously been in the PDP, saying, “We narrowly won in 2022 with 28,000 votes, despite all conspiracies. Now that many of us have moved to APC, there is nothing anyone can do. We are specialists at removing a sitting governor.”
APC governorship candidate Bola Oyebamiji urged all party members to mobilize grassroots campaigns ahead of the election, emphasizing unity and determination in securing victory.
