Remi Oseni (Ibarapa East/Ido – APC) has pledged to mobilise one million votes in Oyo state for President Bola Tinubu’s re-election in 2027.

Mr Oseni, who made the declaration on Saturday in Ibadan, also announced his intention to contest the Oyo South senatorial seat, saying his senate bid would further strengthen the president’s support base in the state.

He said that his senate bid was anchored on consolidating grassroots support for the president’s re-election, adding that Oyo must play a decisive role in returning Mr Tinubu to office.

According to Mr Oseni, the president’s Renewed Hope Agenda was in line with the vision and aspirations of his group, ‘Remi Oseni Community of Friends’, a value-driven movement for grassroots transformation.

He said that ROKOF had penetrated all 33 local government areas in the state, making the target of delivering one million votes for the president more realistic.

Mr Oseni said that his membership of the House of Representatives has enabled him to serve as a bridge of hope beyond his federal constituency to the entire people of Oyo State, working regardless of religion, tribe or status.

Mr Oseni said that he had advocated for several policies, raised several motions, facilitated federal projects in his constituency and contributed to debates that serve the interests of the people as a member of the House of Representatives.

The senator representing Oyo South, Sharafadeen Alli, described Mr Oseni as the best candidate to represent the district in 2027.

He said this was due to his brilliant performance as a representative member of the Ibarapa East/Ido federal constituency.

Mr Alli, an APC governorship aspirant in Oyo State for the 2027 election, called for massive votes for Mr Tinubu.

He said that APC members in Oyo state must work hard in unity of purpose to reclaim government for the party.
