The National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Abdullahi Ganduje, has set his sights on expanding the party’s dominance in the Southwest, declaring Osun and Oyo States as the next targets following the APC’s victory in the Ondo State governorship election.
Ganduje made the statement on Sunday in Akure, shortly after the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) declared Governor Lucky Aiyedatiwa the winner of the 2024 Ondo governorship poll.
Southwest Domination
In his remarks, Ganduje emphasized the party’s ambition to consolidate power across the entire Southwest geopolitical zone.
“Our next target is this geopolitical zone, the Southwest. That means Osun State and Oyo State. We assure you that we will do everything possible to bring them into the fold so we can achieve political homogeneity in the region,” Ganduje said.
He expressed confidence in the APC’s ability to secure victories in future elections, pointing to the party’s strategy and determination to strengthen its influence in the region.
Ondo Election Credibility
Describing the Ondo election as a benchmark for democratic conduct, Ganduje commended INEC for its logistics and manpower, which he said ensured a free, fair, and credible process.
“This is a moment of joy. Seeing is believing, and this is democracy in action. The major stakeholders, including INEC, have validated the credibility of this election,” Ganduje added.
Opposition Faces Challenges
The APC’s declaration comes amid opposition protests over alleged vote buying and violence during the Ondo election. The PDP and other parties have vowed to challenge the results, raising questions about the broader implications for the political landscape in Osun and Oyo.
As the APC celebrates its win in Ondo, the focus now shifts to whether Ganduje’s bold declaration will translate into success in Osun and Oyo, or if opposition forces will rally to defend their strongholds.
