National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Abdullahi Ganduje, has expressed confidence that the ruling party will remain in power for an extended period. He stated this following the APC’s victory in the recently concluded Ondo State governorship election. Ganduje emphasized that the win, alongside other recent successes, reflects the trust Nigerians have in the party’s leadership and vision.

Speaking after the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) declared Lucky Ayedatiwa of the APC as the winner of the Ondo election, Ganduje reiterated the party’s commitment to expanding its influence, particularly in the South-West geopolitical zone.

“In this geopolitical zone, we must deliver 100 percent in favor of APC. Therefore, Ondo State must lead the charge. Regarding the other states, I won’t disclose our strategy, but we are confident of reclaiming Osun and Oyo States,” Ganduje said.

He described Ayedatiwa’s victory as a triumph for democracy and a testament to the confidence Ondo residents have in APC’s leadership and development agenda. Ganduje noted that the victory symbolizes continuity and progress over regression.

APC’s Focus on Progress

Ganduje lauded INEC for conducting a transparent and credible election, which he said further strengthens Nigeria’s democratic processes. He also praised security agencies and stakeholders for ensuring a peaceful environment for voters.

The APC chairman attributed the success to the dedication of party members, including the Progressives Governors Forum (PGF) led by Senator Hope Uzodimma, the APC National Working Committee (NWC), and supporters across Ondo State.

“This victory is a product of hard work, resilience, and unity of purpose. I commend everyone who contributed to this well-deserved success,” Ganduje said.

Commitment to Governance

Ganduje urged Governor Ayedatiwa to remain focused on implementing policies that improve the lives of Ondo residents as he begins another term. He assured the governor of the party’s unwavering support and commitment to the success of his administration.

“I congratulate Ayedatiwa, the great people of Ondo State, and the entire APC family on this historic achievement. This is not just a win for the APC but a testament to the enduring will of the people and the progress of democracy,” Ganduje concluded.

Ganduje expressed confidence that with sustained efforts, APC will continue to expand its reach, strengthen its influence, and secure its place as Nigeria’s dominant political party for years to come.
