Public commentator Isaac Fayose believes that the ruling party All Progressives Congress (APC) cannot take over Oyo and Osun states , unlike their successes in other southern states during recent off-cycle elections.
His commment follow National Chairman of the APC, Abdullahi Umah Ganduje’s, statement expressing the party’s ambition to capture these two states in upcoming governorship elections. This aspiration is inspired following the victory of Lucky Aiyedatiwa, the incumbent governor and APC candidate in the Ondo elections.

“Our next target now is this geo-political zone, the southwest geo-political zone. You know we are good at hitting the target,” he said, flanked by Governor Babagana Zulum of Borno and Hope Uzodimma of Imo, among others.
“We will do everything possible to bring them into the fold.”
Reacting to his comments in a post on Instagram, Fayose said both southwest states will be a tough challenge for the APC as they are under the leadership of governors who are respected by residents.
“Ganduje, the APC chairman, said APC will take Osun and Oyo. I challenge you, you can’t take those two states because the governors there are intelligent. Even Tinubu supported you guys to win Oyo State. Seyi Makinde is the only Governor in Nigeria whose election was not contested because he is so genuine,” Fayose said.
“It is Osun you want to talk about? Dollar for dollar. Adelekes! They have the money, influence, and power. How will you take Osun? Ganduje, you are dreaming.”
