The Governor of Ogun State and Chairman of the Southern Governors’ Forum, Dapo Abiodun, on Sunday commended the performance of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in the recent Federal Capital Territory (FCT) area council elections.
The polls were held on Saturday, February 21, across the six area councils of the nation’s capital.
Abiodun in a statement issued in Abeokuta, Ogun State, on Sunday, said the party’s strong showing represents wide acceptance by Nigerians.
He added that the APC’s success serves as a vote of confidence in President Bola Tinubu’s Renewed Hope Agenda.
While congratulating President Tinubu, APC National Chairman Professor Nentawe Yilwatda, and the party’s candidates, Abiodun described the outcome as a sign of greater victories ahead, including the 2027 general elections. Parts of the statement read, “No doubt, the outcome of the area council polls at the FCT has shown clearly that Nigerians are fully aligned with President Bola Tinubu and the APC, and will again demonstrate this during the 2027 general election.
“The vast majority of Nigerians know that with APC at the helm of affairs, Nigeria’s future is in safe hands.
“I congratulate President Bola Tinubu and the leadership of our great party, the APC, on this remarkable outing, which is a pointer to our victory in 2027.”
