The All Progressives Congress in Ondo State is setting an ambitious target ahead of the 2027 presidential election, declaring its intention to secure one million votes for President Bola Tinubu.
The party announced the target while preparing for a major presidential campaign rally scheduled to hold in Akure on Wednesday, November 11.
Vice-President Kashim Shettima is expected to lead APC governors, ministers, members of the National Assembly and other senior party figures to the state for the event.
Victor Olabimtan, Director-General of the Ondo State APC 2027 Presidential Campaign Council, said the party was determined to outperform its 2023 presidential election performance.
He explained that the party had activated its mobilisation structures across all 18 local government areas, with Governor Lucky Aiyedatiwa leading the state-level effort.
Olabimtan also called on party leaders and members to prioritise unity and collective ambition rather than personal political interests.
The campaign council expressed confidence in the Tinubu administration’s infrastructure projects and economic reforms, arguing that they would strengthen the president’s support in the state.
However, the one-million-vote target remains an ambition announced by the APC, not a guaranteed election result.
With the 2027 contest approaching, the Akure rally will provide another opportunity for the ruling party to demonstrate its mobilisation strength and persuade voters to support Tinubu for another term.
