VAM News Update

Oyo State Labour Party gubernatorial Candidate in the 2023 governorship election, Tawfiq Tayo Akinwale has Joined All Progressives Congress (APC).

This was contained in a press statement signed by his Press secretary, Samuel Abodunrin in Ibadan on Sunday.

The statement reads:
Following a resolute campaign under the Labour Party (LP) in the March 2023 Governorship elections in Oyo State, Tawfiq Tayo Akinwale, a dedicated advocate for progress and good governance, has made the decision to join the All Progressives Congress (APC). This move comes after a thorough evaluation of the current political landscape, where it became evident that LP’s leadership lacked the necessary vision, direction, and cohesion to bring about the much-needed transformation in Oyo State and by extension Nigeria.

In the face of uncoordinated efforts and a lack of focus within the Labour Party, Tawfiq Tayo believes that aligning with the All Progressives Congress will provide the ideal platform to effectively address the challenges facing Oyo State as an opposition and to champion a progressive agenda for the betterment of its citizens.

“Throughout my campaign, I witnessed the earnest desire of the people of Oyo State for positive change and meaningful development,” said Tawfiq Tayo Akinwale.
