In a critical moment leading up to the Ogun APC primary, chieftain Olumide Akinola has called for unity within the party to support Senator Shuiab Salisu. As the primary approaches, tensions have surfaced among competing factions, which could undermine the party's chances in the general elections. Akinola emphasized the importance of cohesion, stating, "We must rally behind a common candidate to ensure our party emerges stronger and more united."
The APC faces an uphill battle in Ogun Central, where internal divisions have historically weakened its electoral position. The party’s performance in previous elections has raised concerns about its strategy and candidate selection. Salisu's candidacy is seen as a potential unifying factor, but only if party members can set aside differences and work towards a collective goal.
With the primary just weeks away, the call for unity resonates strongly among party loyalists. If the APC can successfully consolidate support around Salisu, it may enhance its prospects for victory in the upcoming general elections. However, failure to mend rifts could jeopardize not only the primary but also the party's broader ambitions in Ogun State.
