Biodun Oyebanji, leader of the All Progressives Congress (APC), announced during a campaign launch that the party expects to secure 90% of the votes in Ekiti State. The event marked the official inauguration of the APC’s Presidential Campaign Council, aimed at coordinating efforts ahead of the 2025 general elections. Oyebanji emphasized the party’s strong grassroots presence and strategic planning as key to achieving its electoral goals.
The campaign council was established to oversee all political activities, including public outreach, candidate selection, and voter engagement. Oyebanji stated that the APC is focusing on mobilizing support in key states, with Ekiti serving as a critical base. The party has already begun organizing town halls and community meetings to strengthen its connection with voters.
This campaign follows a series of internal party meetings and strategic reviews aimed at improving electoral performance. The APC, which has governed Nigeria since 2015, faces increasing competition from opposition parties. Oyebanji’s claim of a 90% vote share in Ekiti is based on preliminary polling data and local party assessments. The campaign council will also work on media strategy and digital outreach to expand its reach.
The APC’s decision to formalize its campaign structure comes amid heightened political activity across Nigeria. With the 2025 elections approaching, all major parties are intensifying their efforts to secure electoral victory. Oyebanji’s leadership in the campaign reflects the party’s confidence in its ability to maintain its dominance in key regions.
