2027: Folayan Moves To Reconcile "Otoge" Youth Actors, Meets APC, SDP, And YPP Youth Leaders
Charles Olufemi Folayan, a former YPP House of Representatives candidate for the Irepodun/Isin/Ekiti/Oke-Ero Federal Constituency and widely known as Asoju Odo, has called on the youth involved in the 2019 Otoge political revolution in Kwara State to unite and build upon the achievements of the Otoge movement as the state approaches the 2027 elections.
In his remarks during the Iftar gathering with Kwara State APC Youth Leaders in Ilorin yesterday, Folayan emphasized the importance of reuniting the diverse youth factions who, for various reasons, aligned with different political parties ahead of the 2023 elections.
While acknowledging that politics is driven by individual interests, Folayan stressed that the collective goal remains the pursuit of good governance and sustainable development for the benefit of all.
He further highlighted the significant contributions of the youth during the Otoge struggle, noting that their sacrifices played a pivotal role in its success and should never be overlooked.
Folayan also urged the APC youth leadership to prepare for a period of reconciliation, as many young people who had previously left the party are expected to return, rallying behind President Tinubu and supporting all elected officials.
In his remarks, Comr. Lawal Sulaiman Duduyemi, the Kwara State Youth Leader of the All Progressives Congress, commended Folayan as a resourceful youth leader who has consistently leveraged his position to empower the state's youth. He reflected on Folayan's support for young people before and during the 2019 Otoge movement and expressed confidence that he would continue to make significant contributions.
The Iftar event was attended by several prominent youth leaders, including Hon. Ishola Olateju Olohungbebe, Special Assistant to the former Minister of Interior; Hon. Abdulrasheed Awobimpe, former SA Transport to the Kwara State Governor; Comr. Saheed Badmus, YPP State Youth Leader; Hon. John Adegboye, former SDP House of Assembly Candidate; Hon. Nosirudeen Abiola, State Coordinator of the Coalition of Kwara APC Young Stakeholders; Comr. Bala Daba State Coordinator All Progressive Youth Forum, as well as some of the APC Local Government Youth Leaders, among others.
