By Ayodele Oni

The South West zone of the All Progressives Congress, (APC), has said that Saturday’s governorship and house of assembly election should be another yardstick to prove that Bola Tinubu, the president elect, has home support.

National vice chairman of the party in the zone, Isaacs Kekemeke has therefore appealed to the people of Southwest geo-political zone not to relent until the emergence of governors and State House of Assembly members on the party’s ticket during the March 11, 2023 elections.

The ruling party specifically urged the people of Ogun, Lagos and Oyo states where governorship election will take place, to vote massively for the APC during the polls, while electorate in Ondo, Ekiti and Osun States should support APC assembly candidates.

Kekemeke, in a Press Statement issued on Monday in Akure, the Ondo State Capital, was of the view that the feat is achievable going by the outcome of last election.

The APC Chieftain, who expressed appreciation to Nigerians from across all zones for supporting the President-elect, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu to clinch the presidential seat, charged the Southwest people to extend the love they have been showing the President-elect, to the party’s candidates in the March 11 governorship and Assembly polls.

Kekemeke noted that the Southwest people would fully benefit from Asiwaju Tinubu’s presidency when they use their votes to install APC governors and state lawmakers in their respective states.

He expressed confidence in the ability and willingness of the President-elect to change the narration and reduce current hardship in the country as a result of naira scarcity.

The APC chieftain also called on the Independent Electoral Commission, (INEC), to create level playing field for candidates in the election as it was done during the February 25 presidential election.

He expressed optimism that the APC would also come out top during this Saturday’s polls, and challenged members of the party to sustain the momentum and canvass for votes from eligible voters to ensure victory of party’s candidates.
