  "account": "Hon. Adesoji Adedeji, the APC deputy governorship candidate for Oyo State, is actively campaigning to engage more young people in the party's grassroots efforts as the state gears up for the 2027 elections. During meetings in Saki, Ogbomoso, Iseyin and Oyo, Adedeji received enthusiastic crowds of young supporters and party members. Organised under the theme \"Building APC Youths for Electoral Success in Oyo State,\" the events aimed to boost youth involvement across the state. Recognising the need to expand the party's reach beyond Ibadan, Adedeji emphasized that regions like Ogbomoso, Oyo, Ibarapa and Oke-Ogun are crucial to the state's political and development planning. He stressed the importance of unity among party members, likening the strength of the APC to a forest rather than a single tree. The deputy candidate identified several policy areas the APC administration would focus on if elected, such as improving workers' welfare, expanding educational opportunities, and promoting youth development. Commitments included bolstering the local government system, enhancing workers' salaries, allowances, and pensions, and prioritizing education and youth development to foster human capital growth and economic prospects. Adedeji also pledged to attract more investment to Oyo State, potentially generating employment and opportunities for residents. Party leaders encouraged unity and continued mobilisation ahead of the 2027 elections.",
