The Ondo State All Progressives Congress (APC) Presidential Campaign Council says it is targeting one million votes for President Bola Tinubu in the 2027 presidential election.
The Director-General of the council, Hon. Victor Olabimtan, stated this while addressing newsmen on Tuesday in Akure.
Olabimtan said the party is determined to surpass its performance in the 2023 presidential election, where Tinubu secured 369,924 votes, representing approximately 67.1 per cent of valid votes cast in the state.
He cited the administration’s achievements and key infrastructure projects benefiting the state as major drivers of the target.
“Projects such as the Lagos-Calabar Coastal Highway, the Ore-Ondo-Akure Road, the Ilesha-Akure-Owo-Benin corridor, and renewed attention to the proposed Olokola Deep Seaport demonstrate federal commitment to the growth of Ondo state,” he said.
Olabimtan also highlighted the establishment of the Federal University of Technology, Akure (FUTA) Teaching Hospital, the proposed Aviation College, and federal student financing initiatives as critical milestones.
He praised the President for appointing three ministers from Ondo State, describing it as proof of the state’s strategic role in national governance.
The director-general commended Gov. Lucky Aiyedatiwa for fostering party unity and coordinating grassroots mobilisation across all 18 local government areas.
He announced that Vice-President Kashim Shettima, APC governors, ministers and other national party leaders were expected in Akure on Wednesday, Nov. 11, 2026 for the presidential campaign rally at the Akure Township Stadium.
Olabimtan assured members that adequate logistics and security arrangements were in place for the event, which he described as the launchpad for sustained state-wide engagement ahead of 2027.
He urged party members and supporters to maintain peace, remain united, and intensify grassroots outreach to achieve the set target.
