“Oyo Is Tired of Poor Governance” — APC Youth Leader

Aremu accused the Makinde administration of slowing Oyo State’s progress through what he described as inefficient governance and stalled development.

According to him:

“The present government has held Oyo State in bondage, and the people are tired. APC youths are ready to deliver the political change the state urgently needs.”

He declared that the APC youth structure was ready to lead the state toward what he called a more progressive future.

“The ruling party should prepare for its eventual exit. Progressive young leaders are ready to assume responsibility.”

APC Reconciliation Boosts Opposition Strength

Aremu also highlighted the recent reconciliation between former governorship candidate Senator Teslim Folarin and the Minister of Power, Adebayo Adelabu, describing it as a “major boost” for party cohesion.

He said the improved relationship among APC heavyweights was a positive signal that the party was entering the next election cycle more united and strategically positioned.
