Abdullahi Umar Ganduje, the national chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), has declared the party’s intention to take control of Ondo, Oyo, and Osun states.
Speaking at a stakeholders’ meeting in Akure, Ondo State capital, Ganduje expressed confidence in the party’s triumph in the Southwest, starting with the November 16 governorship election in Ondo.
Ganduje emphasized the importance of delivering 100% votes in favor of the APC in the geopolitical zone. “In this geopolitical zone, we must deliver 100 per cent in favour of APC. Therefore, Ondo State, you must be the forefront, the two other states – Oyo and Osun – we will capture them, but I will not reveal our secret. We are strategising. Everything must be 100 per cent behind President Bola Tinubu,” he said.
Ganduje also announced Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu as the Chairman of the National Campaign Council. He praised the large turnout of stakeholders, citing it as evidence of unity, solidarity, and vigor within the party. “This election is a task that must be done. We are encouraged by this large crowd of stakeholders. It shows there is unity, solidarity, and vigour in the party,” he noted.
The party is expecting 90% votes in the forthcoming governorship election. Ganduje urged party members to engage in door-to-door campaigns, ensuring people come out to vote. “We are expecting 90 per cent votes in the forthcoming governorship election. You have to visit house to house, neighbour to neighbour and ensure that people come out to vote,” he emphasized.
