2027 Elections: Florence Ajimobi Says APC Is Ready for Strong Political Contest in Oyo State

Florence Ajimobi, widow of former Oyo State Governor, Senator Abiola Ajimobi, has declared that the All Progressives Congress (APC) is politically prepared for the 2027 general elections, particularly in Oyo State.

Speaking during a recent political gathering, Ajimobi expressed confidence in the party’s strength and organizational capacity, stating that the APC has sufficient resources, structure, and support at the federal level to mount a strong challenge against rival parties ahead of the next election cycle.

According to her, the party is already laying the groundwork to reclaim political relevance in Oyo State, following recent shifts in the state’s political landscape. She emphasized that the APC remains united and determined, despite past electoral setbacks.

Ajimobi noted that the party’s preparedness is not solely based on financial strength but also on growing grassroots engagement and renewed commitment from party members across the state. She added that APC leaders are focused on mobilization, reconciliation, and strategic planning as 2027 approaches.

Her comments come amid increasing political realignments in Oyo State, where competition between the APC and the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) continues to intensify. Political observers say early statements such as this signal the beginning of heightened political activities as parties position themselves ahead of the next general elections.

Florence Ajimobi’s remarks have sparked reactions among political stakeholders, with supporters viewing the statement as a sign of renewed confidence within the APC, while critics argue that performance and public trust will ultimately determine electoral outcomes.

As Nigeria gradually moves closer to the 2027 elections, political actors across the country are expected to intensify consultations, alliances, and campaigns, making the coming months crucial for shaping the nation’s political future.
