Two leading governorship aspirants in Oyo State under the All Progressives Congress (APC), Sharafadeen Alli and Teslim Folarin, have held separate meetings with President Bola Tinubu ahead of the 2027 governorship race.
Both aspirants reportedly met the President in Lagos to seek his backing and endorsement for the party’s ticket.
Confirming his visit, Alli shared: “I recently had the distinct honor of visiting His Excellency, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu (GCFR), during this Easter season, a time of renewal, reflection, and hope.
“Our conversation reaffirmed my confidence in his courage, clarity of purpose, and unwavering commitment to Nigeria. Beyond the bold reforms and strategic interventions across key sectors, I saw a leader deeply invested in the well-being of our people, focused not just on policies, but on transforming lives and restoring confidence in our nation’s future.
“He reminded me that leadership is a sacred trust, one that must be exercised with strength, compassion, and a constant awareness that true success is measured by the lives we uplift.
“That message will continue to guide my service. I left the meeting inspired, re-energized, and quietly confident that, with unity and steadfast support, Nigeria is on a steady path toward lasting stability and shared prosperity. May God bless the Federal Republic of Nigeria”.
Folarin also confirmed his meeting, stating: “Yesterday, I had the honour of a father-to-son discussion with our leader and President of Nigeria, His Excellency, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, GCFR.”
