The governorship candidate of the All Progressives Congress in Oyo State for the 2027 election, Senator Sharafadeen Alli, on Tuesday appointed politician and legal practitioner, Yemi Aderibigbe, as the Director-General of his campaign council.
The appointment was announced in a statement personally signed by Alli in Ibadan, the state capital.
According to Alli, Aderibigbe’s appointment was informed by his sterling reputation as a selfless political leader with a long-standing record of people-centred leadership and grassroots mobilisation.
The APC governorship candidate described Aderibigbe as a politician who has remained firmly connected to the grassroots since serving as Chairman of Akinyele Local Government Area, noting that his commitment to the welfare of ordinary people has remained unwavering.
Alli, who currently represents Oyo South Senatorial District in the Senate, urged the new campaign Director-General to deploy his vast experience, proven leadership credentials and deep understanding of Oyo State politics in coordinating the party’s campaign activities.
He said, “Asiwaju Yemi Aderibigbe is one of the pillars of progressive politics in our dear state. He has made immense contributions to the political, social and economic development of Oyo State.
“He is a loyal party leader and bridge-builder whose unwavering commitment to party development and the mentoring of younger politicians remain exemplary.
“We have chosen him to lead, organise and mobilise members of our great party and the people of the state to work for the success of the APC at the polls.
“As an experienced administrator with an impeccable record of public service and committed progressive, I am confident Aderibigbe’s leadership qualities will strengthen our party’s campaign.
“As a team player, I have no doubt that he will excel in this assignment by effectively coordinating the campaign council alongside other distinguished leaders and members of our great party,” Alli said.
PUNCH Online reports that Aderibigbe previously served as Chairman of Akinyele Local Government Area and later as Special Adviser on Transport during the administration of the late Governor Abiola Ajimobi.
