Two opposition Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, states in the south west are currently under the radar of the All Progressives Congresss, APC, to be captured.
Oyo and Osun states are currently under the control of the PDP while the APC controls Lagos, Ekiti, Ondo and Ogun states
The ruling APC National Chairman, Abdullahi Ganduje hinted of the plan to capture the two opposition states in Akure, Ondo state capital during his party’s stakeholders’ meeting.
The meeting held ahead the state governorship election slated for November 16, 2024 by the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC.
The incumbent Governor Lucky Aiyedatiwa is a member of the APC and one of the contestants for the critical election.
The magazine reports that the APC has appointed Governor Babajide sanwo-Olu as chairman of the National Campaign Council of the APC for the state governorship election.
According to Ganduje, the party is working seriously to win the Sunshine State as Ondo is well known, while Oyo will follow later. The governorship election in Oyo is slated for 2027.
APC is firmly in control of four states in the region, but “must deliver 100 percent” in the south west, Ganduje said yesterday, stressing that the party wants to ensure that the region is delivered for President Bola Tinubu. The president is from the south west.
He added, “The two other states, I will not reveal our secret, but we assure you, we are strategising. Everything must be 100 percent behind President Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu.”
Since the return to constitutional democracy in 1999, the south west has not been under the control of one political party.
