  "summary": "APC National Chairman Nentawe Yilwatda stated that President Tinubu’s infrastructural projects, such as the Trans-Sahara Superhighway, will secure votes for the party.\n\nAccording to Punch Nigeria, Chief Government Ekpemupolo, Ademola Adeleke, and Adegboyega Oyetola have set a target of at least 1.5 million votes for President Tinubu in the 2027 presidential election. The target was announced in Osogbo during an inauguration of the PBAT Door-to-Door Movement’s state and local government structures. During the event, Ekpemupolo donated 30 vehicles and other campaign materials.\n\nSpeaking through a representative, Kestin Pondi, Ekpemupolo urged residents to support the President's re-election and called for the South-West to unite behind him. He requested that Osun residents provide Tinubu with at least 90 per cent of the votes cast in the state. Ekpemupolo attributed increased state allocations, which have allowed for the payment of salaries, pensions, and project execution, to Tinubu’s economic reforms.",
