Yorubas would reject the All Progressives Congress (APC) in 2023, according to Adekunle Akinlade, the Peoples Democratic Party’s (PDP) deputy governorship candidate in Ogun State.
The PDP chieftain who made this claim at a meeting of the party in 
held at the Engr. Tetede Hall in Ilaro, Ogun State, described Yorubas in the South West as very intelligent people who wouldn’t vote based on ethnic sentiments claimed voters in the region would vote against the APC because of the extreme hunger and poverty experienced under its rule.
He added that while some people believe Bola Tinubu, the APC’s presidential candidate, will win the South West, he pointed out that this is untrue.

Akinlade pointed out that PDP now controls two of the region’s six states, and he said that Ogun would do so in 2023.
He stated: “Atiku Abubakar will win in 2023. I am saying this based on available data. In 2019 when the APC had President Muhammadu Buhari as a returning candidate and with governors in all the six States of the South West, PDP won in two States. In the remaining four states, the margin of win was very slim. This was a time when there was no BVAS and other technologies introduced by INEC. That time, winners were decided at the collation centres. You all know what happened in 2019. That is no more possible.
“The Osun election has shown us that rigging is no more possible. Your votes will count now. You just turn out en masse to vote for the PDP all through.
“Today in the South West, PDP has two states, Oyo and Osun and I know Ogun will join the list.”
