The All Progressives Congress (APC) governorship candidate in the 2019 general election in Oyo State, Bayo Adelabu said he was happy with his defeat in the last election. He made the remarks while addressing newsmen in Ibadan, the capital of Oyo State on Thursday at a dinner to mark his 50th birthday.

The former deputy governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) said his failure to win the election allowed him to re-examine how the APC and development activists were doing in the state.

“I have become wiser politically, closer to party leaders and grassroots politics. I can now relate well with the party faithful. I will be a better governor in 2023 than 2019.

“I will now be active politically. My interest in contesting is existing and will never die. I’m so confident and optimistic we shall dislodge PDP in unity by 2023. With the recent meeting, no party can stand the way of APC, come 2023”. he said.

Mr Adelabu also criticized the current PDP government of Seyi Makinde in the state. He said the current government had no direction. “It is evident that I will remove Makinde. He lacks ideas. Everything this administration promised the people of the state is still on their wish list 16 months after coming on board. With the calibre of people that have returned to APC, no party can stand the way of our party,”  he said.
