…rally canvassers for Tinubu’s re-election in Ondo, Ekit, Oyo, Osun Lagos, Ogun states
Ahead of the 2027 general elections, the Southwest Zonal Executive Committee of the All Progressives Congress (APC) has called on Nigerians to reject the coalition of opposition figures now operating under the African Democratic Congress (ADC).
The zonal leadership said members of the coalition have “nothing to offer” the country, describing them as “failed politicians” who had been tested with power in the past but left no meaningful achievements.
Speaking with journalists in Akure, the Ondo State capital, after their meeting, the APC Southwest Zonal Chairman, Isaacs Kekemeke, said those in the coalition had been tested with power in the past but disappointed Nigerians with nothing to show for their existence in power.
“This coalition of politicians cannot win against the coalition of Nigerian people who know that what President Tinubu is doing now is the very best for our country.
“They are people who have been tested and have failed. If people have been tested and have failed over time, then it will be terrible for Nigerians to abandon someone (like Tinubu), who is setting Nigeria on the path to greatness.

“They are a committee of people who have failed in the past and in the very recent past. They are people who have not been able to accredit themselves credibly in the areas in which they have been asked to work. They are people who have something to show,” he added.
Kekemeke challenged the coalition members to present their track records, urging Nigerians to disregard their antics of coming back to power in 2027.
“Let this coalition tell us what they achieved when they were in power and what they plan to do differently now. If you look at their records, they are very undesirable,” he said.
The APC zonal chairman also expressed confidence that President Bola Tinubu would be unbeatable in the 2027 polls.
He revealed that the Southwest APC leadership has concluded arrangements to recruit canvassers for Tinubu across all 2,000 electoral wards in the six states of the region.
According to him, the canvassers will be tasked with taking the president’s socio-economic policies and achievements directly to the grassroots.
“A committee has been set up to work out the modalities. Apart from overseeing party activities across the zone, it will strategize for President Tinubu’s second-term bid. As the president’s home zone, we must lead the crusade for his re-election,” Kekemeke added.
