Vice-President Kashim Shettima has set a 1.2 million-vote target for Ondo State in the January 16, 2027 presidential election, urging APC members to secure a decisive victory for President Bola Tinubu.
Shettima made the call at the APC Presidential Campaign Council rally in Akure, where he described Ondo as a key state in Tinubu’s re-election bid.
He expressed confidence in the party’s chances, citing the support of influential political figures, including former Governor Olusegun Mimiko and APC chieftain Olusola Oke.
Ondo State Governor, Lucky Aiyedatiwa, also pledged at least one million votes for Tinubu, assuring the President that the state would mobilise voters across its local governments, wards and polling units.
Other APC leaders, including National Chairman Nentawe Yilwatda, Governors Hope Uzodimma, Abdulazeez Yari and former Edo Governor Adams Oshiomhole, called for stronger grassroots mobilisation ahead of the election.
They also urged eligible voters to obtain their Permanent Voter Cards and support the party’s re-election campaign.
