The inclusion of Senator Teslim Folarin as Oyo State Coordinator and Senator Rilwan Adesoji Akanbi as Secretary of Civil Society Mobilization in President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s Presidential Campaign Council ahead of the 2027 general elections underscores the importance of Oyo State in the nation’s political landscape and the strategic role of experienced political leaders in strengthening grassroots mobilization.
Both Folarin and Akanbi will be among 134 members of PCC for inauguration on Tuesday in Abuja.
Senator Teslim Folarin, a prominent All Progressives Congress (APC) chieftain and former Senate Leader, brings considerable political experience, leadership capacity, and grassroots connections to his assignment as Oyo State Coordinator. His responsibility will involve coordinating campaign activities, fostering unity among party stakeholders, and mobilizing supporters across the state in support of President Tinubu’s political agenda.

Folarin’s experience in legislative affairs and party politics positions him to engage party leaders, community influencers, and other stakeholders in building a coordinated campaign structure. His appointment also presents an opportunity to consolidate the APC’s presence in Oyo State through effective communication, strategic planning, and sustained engagement with the electorate.
Similarly, Senator Soji Akanbi’s appointment as Secretary of Civil Society Mobilization highlights the importance of engaging civil society organizations and other relevant groups in democratic participation. His role is expected to facilitate constructive dialogue, encourage stakeholder involvement, and strengthen connections between the campaign council and organized civic interests. Senator Akanbi will work closely with Fabian Oloye, Director of Civil Society Mobilization for President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s reelection.
The combination of Folarin’s coordinating responsibility and Akanbi’s civil society mobilization assignment reflects the need for teamwork and inclusive political engagement in achieving campaign objectives.
Their inclusion in the council represents an opportunity for both leaders to contribute their experience, organizational skills, and networks toward strengthening the campaign structure in Oyo State.
