The APC 2027 vote target for Osun and Ondo states has reached three million, according to the All Progressives Congress Presidential Campaign Council (APC PCC), as the party steps up mobilisation for President Bola Tinubu’s second-term bid.
The council’s Director-General, Senator Abdulaziz Yari, disclosed the target on Sunday during a visit to the palace of the Ooni of Ife, Oba Adeyeye Enitan Ogunwusi, in Ile-Ife, Osun State.
The delegation visited the traditional ruler to seek his blessings and support for Tinubu’s re-election campaign ahead of the 2027 presidential election.
APC Sets Vote Targets for Osun and Ondo
Speaking during the visit, Yari said the council hoped to secure two million votes for Tinubu in Osun State. He said the party would pursue the target through grassroots mobilisation.
Yari also praised Osun Governor Ademola Adeleke for supporting the council’s local coordination efforts. The governor was represented at the meeting by his deputy, Prince Kola Adewusi.
Ondo Governor Lucky Aiyedatiwa also outlined the party’s mobilisation plans. He said governors had been tasked with coordinating political activities in their respective states.
Aiyedatiwa pledged that Ondo would contribute one million votes to Tinubu’s expected tally. Combined with the Osun target, the pledge brings the APC PCC’s stated goal in both states to three million votes.
Ooni of Ife Receives APC Delegation
The Ooni of Ife welcomed the delegation and commended Tinubu and First Lady Oluremi Tinubu for what he described as their contributions to national development and unity.
The monarch, who serves as Permanent Chairman of the Southern Nigerian Traditional Rulers Council, referred to Tinubu as the “father of the nation.” He also praised the President’s efforts concerning the interests and advancement of the Yoruba people.
The APC PCC’s visit forms part of its political engagement and mobilisation ahead of the 2027 election. However, the three-million-vote figure remains the campaign council’s stated target, not a confirmed election outcome.
