“There is no problem in Oyo State APC. By the special grace of God, APC is coming to take over Oyo State in 2027. The President has said it yesterday,” he stated.
Agbaje echoed the sentiment, emphasising party unity as the key to victory. “Well my own view is that APC has always been the strongest party in Oyo State. And once we are united we will always defeat the PDP,” he said.
