Oyo state chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC) has commended President Bola Ahmed Tinubu for his performance over the past 34 months, describing him as the best candidate to lead Nigeria beyond 2027.
The party noted that President Tinubu has displayed the competence, character, and capacity needed to steer the country toward stability, prosperity, and national greatness.
Oyo APC made the remarks in a congratulatory message marking the President’s 74th birthday anniversary, reaffirming its commitment to his second-term agenda and the full implementation of the Renewed Hope Agenda.
In a statement, the party’s Publicity Secretary, Olawale Sadare, also commended the national leadership of the APC for the successful conclusion of the 2026 National Convention in Abuja, which marked the culmination of the party’s circle of congresses.
He said, "An average Nigerian appreciates the fact that President Tinubu deserves being celebrated for rekindling the hope of a stronger, better, and more promising Nigeria, but we chose not to roll out the drums in celebration of the Mr. President's birthday in compliance with his directives, hinged on the current mood of the nation.

"However, we are proud of him as a courageous, passionate, and results-oriented leader who means well for Nigeria and Nigerians."
In another development, Oyo APC has reiterated that members of the general public, including its members and supporters, should discountenance the rumour making the rounds about the emergence of the Party's candidates for the 2027 general election, warning those behind it should either desist or be prepared to face the consequences if caught.
"Just about a few days ago, we had cause to dispel the unfounded rumour of the emergence of a gubernatorial candidate for our party in the state for the next year general election and unfortunately again, it appears that the sponsors of that malicious story have not realised the negative implications of their actions as they might come up with more dangerous antics aimed at causing panic and confusion in the system.
"As a matter of fact, the leadership of our great Party has launched an investigation into the brains behind the circulation of a fresh list of purported Oyo APC candidates, as it was obtained on social media a few hours ago, and we can assure our teeming members and supporters that the list is not only fake but also deceptive and provocative.
"As it stands now, we do not harbour any aspirant or candidate list for 2027 because it is not yet time for expression of interest, nomination, and party primary."
