A chieftain of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Ondo State, Chief Olusola Oke, SAN, has predicted a landslide victory for President Bola Tinubu in the state during the 2027 presidential election.

n

Oke stated this while reacting to comments by a House of Representatives aspirant, Engr. Razaq Obe, that the President may not secure victory in Ondo State in 2027 due to the crisis that followed the party’s last primary election.

n

The APC chieftain described the statement as contrary to the reality on ground, insisting that the party remained strong and popular in the state.

n

“As a chieftain of the APC in Ondo State, I cannot keep mute over such an outburst.

n

“The statement that President Tinubu and APC may not win the 2027 election is in total contrast to the popularity of APC and President Tinubu in Ondo State,” Oke said.

n

He argued that such comments not only portrayed the party chapter negatively but also disregarded the efforts of party leaders towards ensuring victory for Tinubu in the next presidential election.

n

Oke said disagreements after primary elections were normal in political contests and did not reflect the strength or preparedness of the party.

n

“The only party in Ondo State is APC. In every contest, especially primary elections, there is always post-primary disagreement, particularly among those who contested for party tickets.

n

“This has nothing to do with the strength of the party in the state and its preparation for the coming election,” he said.

n

The legal practitioner expressed confidence that the current political strength of the APC in Ondo would translate into victory for Tinubu in 2027.

n

“With the current state of APC in Ondo State, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu will record a landslide victory in Ondo come 2027,” he added.

n

Oke urged party members to avoid making statements capable of damaging the image of the APC.
