Biodun Oyebanji, governor of Ekiti, says the All Progressives Congress (APC) in the state can deliver between 600,000 and 700,000 votes for President Bola Tinubu in the 2027 general election.
Oyebanji spoke in Abuja on Wednesday shortly after a meeting with Tinubu at the State House.
The governor, who was accompanied by Opeyemi Bamidele, senate leader, attributed his projection to the APC’s increasing vote tally in recent elections in the state.
“The president’s chances are very bright. In 2022 when we first contested, we won with about 187,000 votes,” he said.
“Six months later, when the president contested, and I had only been in office for a few months, we increased it to about 210,000 votes.
“This 2026 governorship election has produced about 318,000 votes.
“So, you can extrapolate from that and see that our target in 2027 is between 600,000 and 700,000
