Addressing the mammoth crowd of APC members, Dare appreciated the mass turnout of the progressives at the local government.
“This massive turn out is good for our party. We have shown that we are ready to win. In 2023, at all levels of power in Oyo State, APC must come back to power. At the federal level, APC will continue after President Muhammadu Buhari because President Buhari has worked and built a solid foundation. Our assignment in Ogbomoso is to ensure we have a United APC.”
“Party faithful must work together with the leaders to achieve victory at the polls. We don’t have any misunderstanding in Ogbomoso, we are together. All of us are working for one aim: that is the progress and success of The APC”

Kareem Ibrahim another APC member from Ogunbado ward said the local government congress is a testament to the fact the Ogbomoso APC is ready to win the elections in 2023.
“Before now, there had been bickering among party faithful, but I don’t know the strategy our Agbaakin has used, there’s so much calm and unity and decorum. Everyone is happy with the results of the congress and we are moving forward.
Loyalists and party faithful thronged the palatial Ogbomoso home of the Minister till late evening after which the Minister in turn visited all the party’s stakeholders in Ogbomoso after the congress.
