APC’s defeat will not affect Tinubu’s victory – Spokesperson, Olabisi

The Osun APC spokesperson, Kola Olabisi, has stated that the party's defeat in the August 15 governorship election will not affect President Tinubu's chances of victory in 2027.

According to Prince Williams Akporeha, the immediate past president of NUPENG, the 108-member APC Presidential Campaign Council, led by Abdulaziz Yari, will help secure victory for President Tinubu in the January 16, 2027 election. Akporeha described Yari as a tested and trusted leader with considerable experience in governance, party organisation, and grassroots mobilisation.

Nyesom Wike, Minister of Federal Capital Territory, has urged stakeholders supporting President Tinubu to focus on securing votes at the grassroots level ahead of the 2027 election.
