Yoruba Council Worldwide predicts APC victory

The Yoruba Council Worldwide has projected a decisive victory for the APC in the forthcoming election.

Speaking exclusively to TheTalk.NG on Friday, November 15, the council’s President, Hassan Oladotun, expressed confidence in the APC’s dominance and cited several factors that he believes set the party apart.

“The APC is consolidating on landmark achievements in youth empowerment, infrastructure development, and pension security.

These are key areas that resonate with the people of Ondo State,” Oladotun remarked.

He highlighted the internal crisis within the PDP as a major hurdle for the opposition, describing the other candidates as “spectators” compared to APC’s stronghold in the state.

APC grounded in grassroots support

Oladotun emphasized the APC’s ability to connect with the grassroots, claiming it has widespread support across all local government areas.

“With the current situation in Ondo State, it is a landslide victory for the APC in all 18 local government areas. The party is deeply rooted, and its achievements speak for themselves,” he stated.

He urged the APC candidate and the incumbent administration to prioritize the welfare of the people, especially in areas such as education and youth engagement.
