Ondo election: APC will capture more states – Party chieftain

Olatunbosun Oyintiloye, a chieftain of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Osun, has said the party’s victory in the Ondo State governorship election is a signal that it will capture more states.

Oyintiloye, a member of the APC National Campaign Stakeholders Engagement Committee for the election, said this on Monday in Osogbo while reacting to the party’s victory.

He stated that with the overwhelming support and votes given to the party and its candidate, Governor Lucky Ayedatiwa, opposition states should prepare for massive defeat during their elections.

Oyintiloye emphasised that the massive votes of 366,781 secured by APC, as against 117,845 by the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) candidate, Mr. Agboola Ajayi, was a game-changer for the next elections in other states.

According to him, just as the electorate voted massively for APC in Edo, and now Ondo, opposition states should be ready to give way for the party through popular votes.

Oyintiloye said that the party’s landslide victory in the two states was also a pointer to the fact that the electorate and the masses still believe in the Renewed Hope Agenda of President Bola Tinubu.

He stated that there was no doubt that the president was working day and night to revive the economy for the benefit of the masses.

“As was predicted earlier, the massive votes that APC received during the election will shock opposition parties, especially the PDP, and this has been fulfilled,” he said.

“This landslide victory shows that the masses and the electorate in Ondo State still have faith in APC and President Tinubu’s administration.

“This is a strong signal that other states where opposition parties are governing will be delivered to APC by the electorate.”

“From Kogi to Edo and now in Ondo. Anambra is waiting, with Ekiti and Osun coming last to the general elections.”

“APC is waxing stronger under Tinubu, and the string of successes the party has been recording is an indication that people still believe in the party and its leaders,” he said.
