The Deputy Governor of Ekiti State, Monisade Afuye, has assured the All Progressives Congress (APC) Presidential Campaign Council that the party’s flagbearer, Bola Tinubu, will secure over 75 per cent of total votes cast in the state in the 2023 election.

Mr Afuye said this on Tuesday while donating cash and consumables to Ogoga-in-council and across 11 wards in Ikere Local Government Area to mark the Christmas and New year festivities in Ikere-Ekiti.

She also gave 110 Ikere-Ekiti indigenes cash gifts and donated N1.5 million to party members and leaders across the wards.

Mrs Afuye described Mr Tinubu as part of Ekiti, being an in-law, political leader and mentor to many great politicians of Ekiti extraction, who deserved to be compensated with votes in 2023.

She alluded to Mr Tinubu as one of the best brains and most experienced leaders with fervour to sail the country to prosperity, after President Muhammadu Buhari’s exit.

The Deputy Governor appreciated Ikere-Ekiti voters for the support they exhibited for Gov. Biodun Oyebanji in the last governorship election, saying the votes garnered in the town boosted the party’s chances in the keenly contested poll.

She also visited all the 11 wards in Ikere-Ekiti to donate cash and consumables, canvassed support for APC’s National and House of Assemblies’ candidates in Ikere constituencies 1 and 2 and across the Southern Senatorial District in the impending polls.

She said the APC, having majority in the National and State Houses of Assembly, will smoothen governance and fast track progress under the incoming government of Asiwaju Tinubu and Biodun Oyebanji’s administration in Ekiti.
