A former member representing Osun Central in the Senate and Southwest Coordinator of the All Progressives Congress (APC) presidential campaign council, Sen. Olusola Adeyeye, has said the party is working “very hard” to win and will win “big”.
Speaking as a guest on Channels TV’s Sunday Politics, Adeyeye said President Bola Tinubu will coast to victory in the South West region, saying that any party that goes into an election disunited stands a good chance of losing the election.
The senator, however, said that he does not see any party in the present configuration of Nigeria defeating the APC wherever the ruling party is united in the South-West.
He added “I make bold: anyone from any party who thinks the next election will be easy for it is suffering self-delusion. We in the APC, we work very hard to win, and I want to assure you that we will win. I also want to assure you. We will win big. I care that we win the South West, and we’re going to shock everybody.”
“In the worst scenario, let us say that Bola Tinubu lost the South-West; I guarantee you he will not. But if he does, have we forgotten that another Yoruba man lost the South-West and became the President? Did (former President Olusegun) Obasanjo not lose his ward, lose his polling booth, lose his state, lose his zone, lose every state in the South-West and yet become President?” he added.
The senator said the APC would win in Osun in the 2027 elections, saying that much of the affection that Governor Ademola Adeleke is enjoying is not for the governor but for his elder brother and his father.
