A former chieftain of the All Progressives Congress, APC, Dr Jackson Lekan Ojo, has said the outcome of the Osun State governorship election is a warning of what will happen to the APC in the 2027 general elections.
Reacting to the re-election of Governor Ademola Adeleke, Ojo described the poll as a victory for freedom, not just for Osun people but for all Nigerians.
“I want to congratulate all Nigerians for victory over APC. I am not congratulating Osun people alone but all Nigerians because the signal is there that federal might means no might alone.
“When the might of Almighty God is standing and the people uphold the Almighty God, federal might is nothing,” he said.
The former APC chieftain drew a biblical comparison to explain the result, saying: “As powerful as Pharaoh was, when the powerful might was with the Israelites he tried all he could but the Israelites were freed by force. Osun State has been freed, Osun people have been freed. It is a signal that Nigerians have been freed.”
Ojo noted the heavy presence of APC leaders in Osun during the election, including the Senate President, almost all APC governors, and federal lawmakers.
He said: “Senate President was there to campaign, almost all APC governors were there to campaign, senators and House of Representatives members decamped to the APC but with all these what happened? The people of Osun State headed by a governor that is always praising God, they resolved that darkness will never cover Osun State again and God stood with them.”
He predicted that if Nigerians unite, the APC will suffer a disgraceful defeat in 2027.
“When we resolve to form a united bodyC, God Almighty will stay with us and APC will not just be defeated in 2027 but they will be disgraced out of power.
“Federal might means nothing. If Nigerians can come together in one positive force APC will be disgraced, APC will be humiliated in 2027 general election,” Ojo said.
