‎A former prominent chieftain of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Dr Jackson Lekan Ojo, has declared that the outcome of the Osun State governorship election signals what awaits the APC in 2027.
‎
‎Reacting to the re-election of Governor Ademola Adeleke, Ojo said the poll represented freedom not only 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.
‎
‎Drawing a biblical analogy, Ojo compared the vote to the liberation of the Israelites, 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.”
‎
‎He noted the massive APC mobilisation in Osun, including the Senate President and almost all APC governors who campaigned in the state.
‎
‎“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. Osun people have left the camp of the Egyptians, the camp of Pharaoh,” he said.
‎
‎Ojo predicted a disgraceful defeat for the APC in 2027 if Nigerians remain united.
‎
‎“When we resolve to form a united body God Almighty will stay with us and APC will not just be defeated in 2027 but they will be disgraced out of power. If Nigerians can come together in one positive force APC will be disgraced, APC will be humiliated in 2027 general elections,” he added.
