  "summary": "All Progressives Congress presidential campaign council head Abdulaziz Yari urged Ekiti State voters to support President Bola Tinubu's re-election bid in 2027, estimating that the state could deliver around 800,000 votes, representing approximately 90% of the expected votes. Yari highlighted Tinubu's investment in education, road construction, youth support, and women's empowerment in the state, citing his administration's achievements since Ekiti gave him 80% of its votes in the 2023 election. He also challenged opposition parties to explain their policy differences and emphasized the need for Ekiti residents to ensure Tinubu's administration's efforts were not wasted.",
