The political atmosphere within the All Progressives Congress in Oyo State received a major boost on Saturday as Hon. Hassan Giwa, the consensus candidate for the Lagelu State Constituency seat in the Oyo State House of Assembly, congratulated Hon. Wasiu Akinmoyede Lafisoye on his emergence as the party’s flagbearer for the Lagelu/Akinyele Federal Constituency.
Akinmoyede secured victory during the APC House of Representatives primary election held across Oyo State, a process party stakeholders described as peaceful, transparent, and largely credible. His emergence has continued to generate reactions from party leaders, supporters, and political observers within the Lagelu and Akinyele axis, with many describing the outcome as a reflection of the confidence grassroots members have in his leadership capacity and political structure.
In a statement released shortly after the conclusion of the primary election, Hassan Giwa praised Akinmoyede for what he described as a well-deserved victory earned through dedication, political consistency, and strong connection with party faithful at the grassroots level.
According to Giwa, the outcome of the exercise demonstrates that APC members in the federal constituency remain committed to supporting candidates they believe can effectively represent the interests of the people and strengthen the party’s chances in the forthcoming elections.
He emphasized that the primary election should not divide members of the party but instead serve as a rallying point for greater unity and cooperation ahead of the general elections.
Giwa urged all APC stakeholders, leaders, youth groups, women supporters, and loyal party members across Lagelu and Akinyele local government areas to close ranks and work together toward ensuring victory for the party at all levels.
The APC chieftain stressed that unity remains one of the strongest weapons any political party can possess during an election season, noting that internal harmony and collective commitment would be crucial in securing electoral success for the party in Oyo State.
He also commended the House of Representatives Primaries Committee in Oyo State for conducting what he described as a peaceful and credible process capable of strengthening confidence within the party structure.
According to him, the orderly conduct of the primary election further demonstrates the party’s readiness to build internal democracy and create a level playing field for aspirants seeking elective positions.
Political observers within the constituency believe the emergence of Akinmoyede could further energize APC supporters across the federal constituency, especially as preparations intensify ahead of the next phase of political campaigns.
The Lagelu/Akinyele Federal Constituency remains one of the politically strategic constituencies in Oyo State, often attracting strong attention during elections due to its large voting population and influence within the state’s political landscape.
Supporters of Akinmoyede have continued to celebrate his emergence, describing him as a politician with deep grassroots appeal and a history of active engagement with community stakeholders.
Meanwhile, Hassan Giwa reaffirmed his confidence in the ability of the APC to achieve success in the forthcoming elections if members remain focused, united, and committed to the collective vision of the party.
He reiterated the need for continuous mobilization at the ward and local government levels while encouraging party members not to allow post-primary disagreements weaken the party’s structure.
The statement further reflected the growing determination within the APC in Oyo State to consolidate its strength ahead of future political contests, especially as opposition parties intensify consultations and grassroots campaigns across the state.
As political activities continue to gather momentum, party stakeholders are expected to begin strategic engagements aimed at strengthening reconciliation efforts and mobilizing support across key constituencies in preparation for the general elections.
For many supporters within Lagelu and Akinyele, the message from Hassan Giwa represents a broader call for solidarity, maturity, and collective responsibility as the APC positions itself for what promises to be a highly competitive electoral season in Oyo State.
