As the 2023 presidential election hots up, the All Progressives Congress (APC), has expressed assurance that its presidential candidate, Bola Ahmed Tinubu will win in the Southwest with a landslide victory.
According to the ruling party through its National Vice Chairman (South West), Isaac Kekemeke, APC will conquer the entire six states within the region.
While speaking within newsmen in Akure, Ondo State capital, Kekemeke stated that the disunity within the APC fold in the runup to the 2019 poll made the party to lose to the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Oyo and Osun states in the 2019.
Kekemeke, who described the victory of PDP in the two states as “one chance” emphasised that the APC is now one big family in the region, hence its readiness to secure a high number of votes for Tinubu.
“We had an unprecedented outstanding governorship victory in 2020 because the factors that militated against our success in those states in 2019 were no longer in place.
“So if they talk about 2019, a good sense of simple arithmetics should make them remember Ondo 2020. They are holding on to 2019 but have forgotten the 2020 elections.”
The APC National Vice Chairman said aside from the fact that Tinubu is from the Southwest, he remains the most competent of all the candidates jostling for the country’s plump job.
