President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has met with Senator AbdulFatai Buhari, who represents Oyo North Senatorial District, urging him to work towards the electoral success of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Oyo State ahead of the 2027 general elections.
The meeting, which took place on Friday night, October 16, 2026, was reported by OyoInsight.
Buhari, a three-term senator from Oyo North and former member of the House of Representatives, reportedly met with the President as part of political engagements ahead of the forthcoming elections.
According to the report, Tinubu urged the lawmaker to return to Oyo State and mobilise support for the APC and its candidates in the 2027 polls.
The meeting was also attended by the Executive Chairman of the Nigeria Revenue Service (NRS), Dr Zacch Adedeji, who hails from Ogbomoso in Oyo State.
The President’s reported directive comes as the APC intensifies efforts to strengthen its political structures and improve its chances of securing victory across the state in the next general elections.
The party has presented Senator Sharafadeen Abiodun Alli as its governorship candidate for the 2027 election, alongside its senatorial, House of Representatives and state House of Assembly candidates.
Tinubu’s reported engagement with Buhari is expected to reinforce discussions around party unity, grassroots mobilisation and coordination among APC stakeholders as preparations for the elections gather momentum.
However, further details of the meeting, including Buhari’s response to the President’s directive, were not provided in the initial report.
