**APC Targets 10 Million Votes for Tinubu in Southwest - Senate Leader** As the 2027 general elections draw near, the All Progressives Congress (APC) has set its sights on securing a massive 10 million votes from the South-West region for President Bola Tinubu's re-election bid. This was disclosed by Opeyemi Bamidele, the Leader of the Senate, who is also the Chairman of the Ekiti APC Governorship Election Campaign Council. Speaking during the inauguration of the 57-member governorship campaign council for the re-election of Governor Biodun Oyebanji in Ekiti State, Bamidele revealed that the party plans to reach this target through extensive voter mobilisation and increased participation in the ongoing Continuous Voter Registration exercise. The APC leader described the June 20 governorship election in Ekiti State as "a walkover" for the party, citing the significant accomplishments under the Oyebanji administration. According to Bamidele, the upcoming election will serve as a referendum on the performance of the incumbent governor. He called on party leaders and members to step up mobilisation efforts by urging residents to participate in the Continuous Voter Registration and obtain their Permanent Voter Cards. "This is a crucial time for our party, and we need to work together to achieve our goals," Bamidele said. "We must mobilise our members, neighbours, and relations to register as new voters and collect their Permanent Voter Cards so that they can exercise their suffrage in our support in the future elections." The APC's target of 10 million votes from the South-West region is a bold statement of its confidence in the region's support for President Tinubu's re-election bid. As the 2027 general elections draw near, Nigerians will be watching closely to see if the APC can deliver on this promise.
