Ambassador Ojo described the development as a resounding vote of confidence in the governor’s leadership capacity, political experience, and proven record of service.

“Hon. Bimbo Adekanmbi is a seasoned administrator with a deep understanding of governance and public policy. His candidacy strengthens APM’s vision for Oyo State and I am confident that the party will continue to expand its base and resonate with the aspirations of our people,” the youth leader added.
He further extended his congratulations to all senatorial, House of Representatives, and House of Assembly candidates who secured the party’s tickets during the primaries. Amb. Olumide Ojo urged them to remain steadfast, disciplined, and committed to the ideals, manifesto, and vision of the Allied Peoples’ Movement as they prepare for the general elections.
According to him, the successful conclusion of the primaries marks the beginning of a new phase of unity, collaboration, and strategic mobilization within the party. He emphasized that the focus must now shift to aggressive grassroots engagement, voter education, and issue-based campaigning that highlights APM’s plans for economic growth, youth empowerment, infrastructure development, and social welfare.
“The primaries are over, and the real work begins now. This is the season for us to close ranks, strengthen our structures from the ward level upward, and present a united front to the electorate. Our candidates must lead with vision, humility, and a clear message of hope. With unity and determination, APM will make a significant impact in 2027,” Amb. Olumide Ojo said.
