Dr. Oluwatoyin Alabi’s Stakeholders Meeting: A Strategic Push for Ifelodun APC’s Grassroots Revival

Dr. Oluwatoyin Alabi’s recent engagement with All Progressives Congress (APC) stakeholders in Ifelodun Local Government Area of Kwara State, offers a strategic insight into the evolving grassroots dynamics of the ruling party. The gathering, which took place at the APC Secretariat in Share, served as both a listening tour and a platform to reemphasise party unity and cohesion ahead of the 2027 general elections.

What stands out in the meeting is Dr. Alabi’s emphasis on unity and grassroots mobilisation as the foundation for political success. This aligns with growing calls within the APC for a bottom-up approach in party organisation, especially as the 2027 elections begin to take shape. By directly engaging with ward chairmen and stakeholders across major communities such as Igbaja, Share, Elere, Omupo and Idofian, Dr. Alabi appears to be investing in the party’s base — the very foundation of electoral victories.

His background in the hospitality industry and his leadership as Chairman of the Igbaja Progressive Union National Executive Council (IPUNEC) reflect an ongoing blend of business acumen and community service — traits the APC may find invaluable in grooming future leaders.

By leveraging these credentials, Dr. Alabi is not only canvassing support for the re-election of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu but also reinforcing APC’s developmental narrative in Kwara under Governor AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq.

The welcoming remarks of Architect Lukman Abubakar, the APC LGA Chairman, underscore the legitimacy and weight the party places on Dr. Alabi’s visit. Also, the meeting’s outcome, a pledge by ward leaders to strengthen party structures, indicates that the interaction wasn’t just symbolic but one of real political substance.

In a political climate where disunity and disengagement often threaten party strength, Dr. Alabi’s message of cohesion, loyalty, and proactive grassroots participation comes as a timely intervention. If sustained, this strategy could fortify APC’s presence in Ifelodun and significantly shape the political tide in 2027 across the three senatorial districts in the state.
