After Edo, Ondo guber election wins, APC’s next targets are Osun, Oyo – Ganduje
National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Abdullahi Ganduje, has said Osun and Oyo States are high targets for the party in the South-west, following the party’s governorship election victories in Edo and Ondo States respectively.
Ganduje said this on Sunday in Akure, the Ondo State capital, after the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) declared Lucky Aiyedatiwa, the incumbent governor and APC candidate, winner of the election.
Aiyedatiwa won the election in all 18 LGAs of Ondo with 366,781 votes to defeat his closest rival, Agboola Ajayi of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), who polled 117,845 votes.
Nejo Adeyemi, candidate of the African Democratic Congress (ADC), came a distant third with 4,138 votes.
The APC national chair said his party is seeking to establish a “political homogeneity” in the south-west geo-political zone.
“Our next target now is this geo-political zone. The south-west geo-political zone. You know we are good at getting the target,” he said as he was flanked by governor Babagana Zulum of Borno and Hope Uzodimma of Imo among others.
“We will do all that is possible to bring them into the fold.”
The next Osun governorship election will be held in 2026.
