APC’s Target After Ondo Election Victory Is To Dislodge PDP From Oyo, Osun; Take Over Nigeria; Ganduje
After winning the governorship election in Ondo State, the national chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Abdullahi Umar Ganduje, has announced plans to dominate the Southwestern states.
This bold move aims to solidify APC’s presence in the region.
With its victory in Ondo, Ganduje is confident that APC can secure power in all Southwestern states.
“Our next target now is this geo-political zone, the Southwest geopolitical zone,” he said.
He expressed confidence in the party’s ability to hit its targets, particularly in Southwest Nigeria and commitment to securing victories in the remaining states in the region.
“You know we are good at hitting the target, that is Osun State and Oyo State. We assure you, we will do what is possible to bring them into the fold. So we have political homogeneity in the South-West Geopolitical zone,” he boasted.
The APC has secured a decisive victory in the Ondo State governorship election, garnering 366,781 votes to defeat the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) which polled 117,845 votes.
Lucky Aiyedatiwa, the incumbent governor, was previously the deputy governor who took office after Governor Rotimi Akeredolu’s passing in December 2023. He faced stiff competition from 16 other candidates, including Agboola Ajayi of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
With this victory, the APC has strengthened its hold on the South-West region, now governing Lagos, Ogun, Ekiti, and Ondo states. The PDP, however, governs Osun and Oyo states.
