National News – The All Progressives Congress candidate for the Owo/Ose Federal Constituency in Ondo State, Kayode Ijalana, has congratulated President Bola Tinubu after his emergence as the APC presidential candidate for the 2027 general election.

Ijalana described Tinubu’s landslide victory in the nationwide primary election as proof of growing national acceptance and confidence in the President’s leadership.

Tinubu secured nearly 11 million votes during the APC presidential primary held across Nigeria, defeating fellow aspirant Stanley Osifo.

In Ondo State alone, the President recorded 181,966 votes, while Osifo failed to secure any vote.

The APC primary election was conducted ahead of preparations for the 2027 presidential election.

Speaking on Monday, Ijalana said the outcome of the primary reflected the trust party delegates and members have in Tinubu’s leadership style, political experience, and vision for national development.

According to him, the victory also showed strong support for the President’s Renewed Hope Agenda and ongoing economic and political reforms.

The APC chieftain praised the party’s National Working Committee for organising what he described as a peaceful, transparent, and credible primary election process.

He added that the exercise strengthened internal democracy within the ruling party and demonstrated unity among APC members nationwide.

Ijalana further pledged the support of voters and party loyalists in Owo and Ose Federal Constituency toward Tinubu’s re-election ambition in 2027.

He expressed confidence that the administration would continue to improve security, infrastructure, and economic growth if given another term in office.

He noted that Tinubu’s victory was not only a personal achievement but also a victory for Nigerians who believe in continuity, stability, and sustainable development.

He added that party supporters in Ondo State were fully mobilised to deliver massive votes for the President during the general election.
